Hello and welcome back to Starlings Class Blog,

Starlings have had such a busy and exciting week, continuing to make Miss Gillam and Mrs Regan proud each and every day. We have loved meeting Mrs Southern this week who will be joining us after the half term holidays.

We have yet another busy week ahead of us next week.

Maths

Our focus in maths will continue to be addition and subtraction this week. We will be solving problems involving addition using the part-whole model taught last week.

E.g. Always, Sometimes, Never 

When I add two numbers, the answer is always smaller.  Explain your reasoning.

Writing

This week we are going to be continuing our journey, discovering the adventures of Nibbles the book monster. Will be learn about the mischief Nibbles causes as he enters a range of traditional tales in our classroom. We will consider the thoughts and feelings of the character in each story and write sentences to help the staff at Northwich Library to know how to keep Nibbles well fed and happy.

Topic

In our Topic lessons we will be continuing with our history focus, learning about how transport has changed over time.  We will continue to look at old maps of Northwich to see how the town changed as transport methods modernised.  We will look at how bicycles have changed over time. We will also learn about how the types of bikes we ride change as we grow up and why.
