Gold class have had a fantastic start to the Autumn term.

In Maths we have been consolidating our knowledge of place value and using different maths equipment to help us with our understanding. 

We have started a new book called “The Last Rhino” in English. We have been using our inference skills to understand how the characters are feeling and making predictions about what is going to happen next in the story.

In art we are revisiting some drawing techniques to improve our skills with mark making and shading. This term we will be learning how to draw portraits and have begun this week sketching eyes. It’s been tricky but we are very proud of the progress we have made already!

Our topic for this term is “Into Africa.”  In Geography we tested our knowledge of the 7 continents and what we already know about Africa. In Computing we have been researching about the different countries and capital cities of Africa. We have also been in the garden and started harvesting some of the fruits and vegetables that we planted in the summer.
