In the first few weeks of the Spring term, the children have settled back into learning with great enthusiasm. In PE, they have been taking part in Yoga and Netball, developing both their fitness and teamwork skills. In science, the children have been exploring gravity and friction, sharing thoughtful ideas through discussion. In English, they are in the innovation stage of writing their suspense tales, adapting model texts to develop tension and atmosphere. In maths, the focus has been on long multiplication and division, and it is important that children continue to practise their times tables regularly on TTRS — we currently have a tournament running, with the class earning the highest points winning extra break time at the end of half term. In PSHE, the children are learning about money, including how to budget and the difference between needs and wants.
