On Wednesday afternoon, Class 8 learnt about inheritance and variation as part of our topic on evolution. The children were asked to draw a family of bees to show these processes in action. It is fair to say the children were buzzing with delight by the end of this session!

This week in English, we delved into our new unit of stories from other cultures, starting with the tale of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. In groups, we explored the story and identified the features that told us it was set at a different time and in a different culture.

On Thursday morning, Class 8 applied their addition and subtraction skills to find out a range of missing numbers in different calculations. All the children had great fun with this!

This week is the first time that we have work in our homework books. We have learnt the sounds s, a, t and p so it would be fantastic if you could have a go at saying and writing them at home. Can you think of any words that start with those sounds? 

We have started phonics this week so we have been learning lots of new sounds. Everyone has had a really good go at writing labels for things in our classroom such as pegs, pens, books and bags. We have been thrilled to see the writing area full of busy authors and illustrators!
