In English, the children enjoyed drawing their own monsters and writing lots of sentences using a range of adjectives to describe their crazy creations. We loved seeing their imaginations come to life through their writing.

In mathematics, the children have been learning to add and subtract through word problems. They particularly enjoyed acting out addition and subtraction using a variety of objects. Some children even created their own word problems for the rest of the class to solve. We have also been learning about non standard units and standard units of measurement, measuring different items around the classroom. Some children challenged themselves further by estimating measurements before checking them.

In science, we have been exploring how sound travels and is transmitted. The children labelled the different parts of the ear and we discussed what life might be like for someone who is deaf. They also enjoyed sharing their favourite sounds and discussing sounds they do not particularly like.

Finally, Form 2 took part in an excellent debate about the Loch Ness Monster. Some children were convinced that Nessie really exists, others did not believe, while a few were still unsure. It was wonderful to hear everyone sharing their opinions and giving reasons to support their ideas.
