Our Learning

We have had another great week in Seals class. It has involved magic, atlases and exchanges!

English –

This week, we have been preparing to write our own fantasy story. This has included describing a fantasy world, describing the emotions and reactions of a character, boxing up the model text and creating a double page spread plan. The children have excellent ideas so I look forward to reading their final piece of work next week!

Maths –

We have continued our multiplication and division work this week. It has involved dividing 2 digit numbers by a 1 digit number and dividing 3 digit numbers by a 1 digit number. The children have been using a written method to help them divide and have even had to exchange and work out the remainder! Next week we will conclude our multiplication and division work.

Geography –

During our first topic lesson this week, we had to locate Iceland on a world map. Once we had located Iceland, we had to write a paragraph about the location of Iceland using our knowledge of continents, oceans, compass directions and latitude/longitude coordinates. Towards the end of the week, we looked at the physical features of Iceland and how these compare to the physical features of the UK.
