We have loved learning all about The Victorians - our new topic. Using the book Street Child, we are learning about diffent Victorian events as they happen to the main character, Jim Jarvis -through the eyes of a child. This week, he was admitted to a workhouse so we have spent lots of time researching workhouses, and how the poor and desitiute were treated, culminating in fabulous pieces of work that are even better than the research books in class.

In maths we have learnt the new short method of mutiplication for 2 and 3 digit numbers x 2 digit numbers. it has been lovely to watch the children grow in confidence as the week has progressed.

Today we also started our PSHE lessons, preparing children for our residential to York later this academic year. We are all so excited.
