In maths this week, we multiplied and divided numbers by 10 and 100. We also used known facts to find the answers that were 10 or 100 times bigger.


Thematic Curriculum:

This week during our afternoon lessons, we explore Judaism and the story of Passover and Hanukkah. We also mummified a tomato as our topic Celebration of Learning.
