In English, our learning has focused on the picture book, Katie In London. The children began the week by making predictions about the story based on the clues presented on the front cover of the text. As the week progressed, they used descriptive detail in order to describe a bustling London street as well as expanded noun phrases to describe the lion’s appearance.  

In Maths, our learning has centred around place value. The children counted objects to 100 by making 10s. They then built upon this strategy by counting groups of 10 within a set of objects and then adding the remaining number of objects to this amount.

This week, we began our new Geography topic: What are the key differences between a village and a city? The children focused on Stoke Mandeville during the course of the lesson and identified, named and located important landmarks within our village.
