This week in Key Stage 2

Year 3

This week we have been learning to tell the time and recommend the website www.timemonsters.com
It's fantastic! We have also been boxing up stories to help us organise our writing. Each box is a story part and paragraph.



Year 4

This week we have been using our imagination to travel. In maths, we have been doing column addition and subtraction. In topic, we've been learning about the Anglo Saxons. We also did some weaving and basket making. It was fun.


Year 5

We have been learning about forces. This week we tried to sink a Compare Bear, in a canister, in a cylinder of water. Like a diving submarine. It was fun - but very messy!

Year 6

We have been story writing using "boxing up". We have been learning to assess and improve our own writing. We started our topic on Electricity by making circuits and in Mathematics we have been practising our mental maths skills.
