The Big Idea

How has exploring Impacted the world we live in today?

Learning Lift off

We became explorers walking to Whinless Down! Hoping to discover parts never seen before! We earned puzzle pieces as we explored and when we had finished put the pieces together and discovered they made different explorers like Neil Armstrong and Matthew Hansen who we had learnt all about for Black History month!

Explorers that came before us

We have learnt how Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas by landing in the Bahamas by accident when travelling to Asia. It was then time to turn our classroom into a court room! We had one side arguing that Columbus was good as he had discovered new lands and fruits whilst the other side argued he stole from the local people and took slaves. Both sides gave great arguments. In English we wrote a letter imagining we were Christopher Columbus writing to his wife telling her all about the discoveries made!

Show us your spots!

For Children in Need, we dressed in spotty clothes and did a fun run we did really well never giving up!

Maths

Maths this term is all about adding and subtracting and we have been doing some really tricky stuff! We have been exchanging ones for tens which has taken lots of practice.
