23/2/24 Week in Review
Posted: Feb 23, 2024 by: Greg Hobson (GHobson) on: Class 2
Good afternoon everyone,
Here in Class 2, we have started our new topic for this half term called 'Fire, Fire'.
This topic is based around the Great Fire of London that took place in 1666. We have looked into what London was like around this period and what life would have been like to be a resident of the city. The class took part in some creative writing about the city using adjectives to bring their writing to life.
In history, we have started to learn about some of the significant factors present in London before the fire broke out - such as the summer heatwave that hadn't provided rain, the houses being close together and constructed out of flammable materials and that fire was a key part of survival, being used to cook food, light homes and keep warm.
Maths this week, has been a mixture of using different combinations of money to make different totals and practising our times tables using different methods. Abi from the sports partnership even came in to run an active maths session in which the class used some of the strategies to help them work out number problems.
Thanks everyone,
Have a good weekend,
Mr. H.
