The children have returned excellently to school after a brilliant break and have been eager to get back to where they left off in December. We have started to look at out new topic of Evolution, focussing in on Charles Darwin and the exploration which led to his discovery and theory of evolution. We have looked at the various biomes which we have in the world, in preparation for designing our own islands to explore, like Darwin in the Galapagos Islands.

In maths we have started to look at decimals, focussing in on identifying the value of each digit of a number, before rounding, adding and subtracting decimals fo various lengths. In PE we have started to recap our learning of the Ancient Greeks in order to created a dance routine showing their lifestyles, starting with the Olympic games. We have started to look at playgrounds in DT (what equipment they contain and how are they produced) in preparation for designing and creating our own model playground later on in the half-term.

Don't forget about the CGP book offer which school are currently running : it could save you a lot and it is good practise for the children.
