✉️ English
In English this week, we have been exploring Wonder by R.J. Palacio. The children have been developing their writing skills by creating their own email exchanges between characters from the story. They carefully considered each character’s personality and viewpoints, writing thoughtful replies that showed empathy and understanding. It has been lovely to see how well the children understand the themes of kindness and friendship within the novel.

➗ Maths
In maths, we have been focusing on developing our multiplication skills. The children have been practising how to compact and expand numbers to help them solve problems more efficiently. They have shown great perseverance, especially when tackling more challenging calculations, and are becoming increasingly confident in explaining their reasoning.

🗺️ Geography
In geography, we have been building our mapwork skills. The children used maps to locate wind farms in Blyth, learning how to read symbols, identify locations and understand how renewable energy sites are positioned along the coastline. This linked brilliantly to our wider discussions about sustainability and energy use.
