In maths, we have been learning how to partition three-digit numbers into hundreds, tens and ones, before using these parts to practise adding and subtracting. The children have been developing their understanding of how numbers work and finding different ways to solve calculations.

In English, we took our inspiration from something a little more exciting – sparklers! The children had the opportunity to watch sparklers being lit and carefully think about what they could see, hear and smell. We are using these experiences to collect some fantastic descriptive vocabulary to help bring our writing to life.

In science, we have been investigating how water is transported through plants. The children have been learning about how water travels from the roots, up through the stem and towards the leaves.

Next week:

-3-digit numbers on a number line

- planning and writing a firework poem

- learning about leaves and light in science.
