We’ve been putting our French vocabulary to good use by writing letters in role as evacuees during the Second World War. We applied our learning of some key vocabulary, as well as exploring the differences between life in the town and countryside, to create our very own wartime letters. We thought carefully about what life might have been like for an evacuee arriving in a new home and having to adapt to unfamiliar surroundings.
We’re justifiably proud of our finished letters – we’ve worked hard to bring our characters and their experiences to life. C’est fantastique!
We’ve been continuing our fraction adventures in Maths, learning how to multiply and divide fractions. We’ve also been drawing bar models to help us visualise our calculations and, importantly, prove that our answers are correct. It’s been all about showing our mathematical thinking and explaining the why as well as the how. Fractions certainly aren’t getting the better of us!
- ‘A dent on the landscape.’
- ‘A world scarred.’
- ‘People separated and families torn apart.’
- ‘A stronger sense of community and resolve.’
Another week full of curiosity, creativity, thoughtful discussions and plenty of learning in Willow Class.
