Stanway Fiveways Primary School

We have had a lovely start to this half term and have made a great start to our new topics of learning.

In maths we spent the week consolidating our understanding of the concepts we covered last half term, addition and subtraction to ensure we were all really confident before moving on. In English we were innovating Zig’s Diary, writing our own version together and remembering to include the important tools, time adverbials, adjectives and past tense verbs.

In Computing this term, we are going to be creating some simple animations but this week we got the topic off to a very creative start with the children making their own flipbooks using post it notes.  They had some fantastic ideas for their books and loved this activity.

In DT, the children will be designing and making a toy for a Victorian child. This week the children evaluated some present-day toys, looking at the materials used, how they worked and the children’s personal opinions of them.

The children also enjoyed meeting up with their paired reading classes and sharing a book with them on Thursday morning.
