Lower Key Stage 2 have had another great couple of weeks.

Maple Class have been making their very own papyrus paper in Art and exploring a range of artistic techniques. In English, they have been building their skills ready to write character descriptions with a Roald Dahl twist, using exciting vocabulary and powerful adjectives. In Maths, they have been learning clever strategies for solving addition and subtraction calculations mentally.

Oak and Poplar classes have both been writing their own Paddington Bear adventure stories. Poplar Class have been including fronted adverbials, prepositional phrases and correctly punctuated direct speech. Oak Class went on a journey across the UK in Geography, exploring its countries and counties, and enjoyed a lively game comparing numbers in Maths.

In Science, Poplar Class have been constructing circuits and acting out how circuits work. They have also been trying different balances and jumps in PE, learning about rewards, consequences and the rights of a child in PSHE, and placing, comparing and ordering numbers on number lines.
