This week Blue Class have been learning:

English

• We looked at the different features of a newspaper report.
• We planned our own newspaper reports about The Great Fire of London; including creating our own headlines!
• We wrote our newspaper reports describing what, when and where the fire happened.
• In phonics we practised a new spelling rule;  adding ‘il’ to the end of words.

Maths

• We started to count in twos, fives and tens.
• We found the missing numbers using the two, five and ten times tables and thought of our own strategies for remembering them.
• We spotted the mistakes in different number sequences and explained how we knew the correct answer.
• We counted in three and identified the patterns.

Topic

• We made our Tudor Houses! We looked at different examples and then designed our own in pairs.
• We then made our own houses using a variety of different boxes, art straws, sticks, paint and hay.
• We created our own lyrics to ‘London’s Burning’.
• In science we thought about how materials change when they are manipulated.

It has been a brilliant first week back; well done Blue Class!
