Tim Peake Class Update Autumn 2024

Tim Peake class • November 8, 2024

Tim Peake class have had another busy week and have really settled into Key Stage Two!

In Art they have learnt a new way to draw trees using a ‘V’ shape – you can see how proud they are of their work!

In maths we have been discovering different ways to use the manipulatives that help us with our calculations. We used double sided counters to investigate patterns and compare numbers

In our Science learning on ‘Animals including Humans’ we completed a survey this week to find out what pets the class have and what they eat! This involved the children asking questions of each other and completed a tally chart and to find out what the animals ate ‘experts’ shared their personal knowledge from feeding their own pets at home. As a class we have a total of 225 pets!! but this does include quite a lot of fish!

Our Tuesday swimming lessons are going really well! The children are in ability groups now and are gaining confidence every week in readiness for the 2032 Olympics!
