This week, the children began their new topic, Road Trip USA, by imagining that the school grounds were the United States of America. They had to find and visit fourteen different states that were marked out on the field. Once they had done that, they had to locate the states in an atlas and really began to appreciate quite how vast the USA is. Over the next few weeks, we will be developing these geographical skills as well as thinking about what life is like for the people that live there. We will also think about the many native American tribes.
In English, we have started reading a non fiction book about plastic waste in Africa. We will be focusing on this issue for the next few weeks.
In maths, the Children are again looking at time in digital and analogue, as well as 12 and 24 hour. If your child has a watch, we strongly recommend that they wear it as often as possible as it can make a magical difference to their learning of this sometimes tricky topic.
