Merlin's have really enjoyed their French lesson this week, we have extended their understanding of some of the greetings in French and can now use some related to the time of the day. We also worked on some of the pronunciation of French sounds (phonics) which are quite different.
In our History session we have researched the lives of the rich and poor in Ancient Egypt and the children noticed some very big differences. They felt that the society of Ancient Egypt was not entirely fair and that the poor had no chance of making a change in their lives to improve their situation.
We have been studying the book of Genesis in our RE sessions and we have come to the conclusion, after a strong debate, that the bible is considered by many Christians to be a guide on how they should live their lives. After attempting to complete the playground maze with a blindfold they found it was much easier to be successful with a guide and a little support.
In Maths we have begun to apply our previous learning about place value to help us solve addition and subtraction questions and in English we have begun to explore a variety of Reports.
