What have we been learning?
The children were really excited to write their own diary entries as Percy the Park Keeper. They added in all the writing features that we have been learning in class and then wrote it up in best for our display.
The children are enjoying using practical resources in maths lessons. This has helped to embed their knowledge and understanding of place value.
Our school trip to Pudsey Park was very successful and the children gained a lot of knowledge about the human and physical features in our local environment. We have then had a lot of fun making a large scale model of the park.
This term in PE we are learning about gymnastics.and developing our balancing skills.
