In History, the children have been considering how we know about the Great Fire of London and how this information was passed on without electronics or the internet. They then focused on the diary of Samuel Pepys.
In Phonics, each of the classes have been recapping different aspects of the phonics curriculum. This is in order to ensure that each class is revisiting the area that needs the most practice following our recent phonics assessments.

In Maths, we have been looking at 1 more and 1 less and number lines to 20. Here are the maths sheets for this week. Week 5 Maths Sheets – more and less, numberline
