  • A week of core skills!

    Published 19/01/24, by Sam Mitchell

    In Science we have been learning about animals, habitats and all living things. We talked about everything we already know about animals and plants. Some of us talked about where they live and what they eat too!

    In writing, we have been learning different core skills, including using full stops, exclamation and question marks correctly in our writing. 

    In maths, we have been using our place value skills from last week to add and subtract. We made numbers using dienes and have added them together or taken them away to solve these.
