In year 3 this term we have been focusing on our number skills. This week, we have been focusing on our multiplication and division. We had an interhouse multiplication hunt competition where the children had to work as a team to solve multiplication problems. A big congratulations to Bath team who solved their problems in the fastest time.

Well, our final week of the first half term started with a science lesson in which we learnt what herbivores, carnivores and omnivores eat. Some of us were surprised to find out what different animals eat. This week we were all put to the test with remembering moves for our Royal Opera House dance. We are really enjoying this - we can’t wait to put the different parts of the dance together!
We have also been donating food to the local food shelter and learning about Harvest. We learnt the song ‘Harvest Samba’ with the rest of key stage one and performed this at the Harvest Festival celebration on Friday afternoon.
Finally this week we started to look at our new central idea for next half term’s Unit of Enquiry. We got to piece jigsaws back together and found that the images were of different celebrations, then we used these to think about our own questions and things we are curious about.
We are looking forward to continuing our learning next half term.

In Reception this term, we have been learning about people who help us at home, school and in the community. This week, we had a visit from a police officer, who told us all about his job in London, and we asked questions about his job. We found out he wears a tall helmet when walking around so everyone knows who he is and can go and ask for help. We also learnt that he drives his car slowly, watching to make sure everyone is safe – unless there is an emergency!
We got to look at some of his equipment, and even tried on his hat. When we came back to the classroom, we designed our own police badges, and pretended we were police officers!
