Posted: Jul 1, 2017 by: Teachers (BishopTeachers) on: What's been happening in Discoverers & Voyagers.
This week got off to a brilliant start as we watched the Year 5 and 6 dress rehearsal of their production 'Super Stan'. The children thoroughly enjoyed it, as did the staff. A big well done to Inventors and Pioneers!
We have begun a sequence on review writing. Children have looked at the features of a good formal review and have spent much of the week researching a place they have visited in preparation for their own review writing.
In Maths, we have continued in multiplicative reasoning, looking particularly at the formal written methods of multiplication and applying these to real life problems. Next week, we hope to progress on to formal written methods of division and using the inverse operation to solve missing number problems.
The Year 3's and 4's have also learned what fossils are, and how they are formed. Next week, we hope to look at soil and begin to recognise that it consists of rocks and organic matter.
We look forward to discussing your child's learning at this week's parent's evenings. Please make sure you have booked an appointment with your child's class teacher.
