In Maths, we have started our new topic of Addition and Subtraction, focusing on fact families. The children have been learning how addition and subtraction are connected and how we can use the same three numbers to create different number sentences. We have used lots of practical resources, including counters, cubes and part-whole models, to help develop our understanding. The children have worked hard to explain their thinking and are beginning to grow in confidence with this new concept.

In English, we have started our exciting new core text, Beegu. To introduce the story, the children arrived to discover a mysterious landing on the playground! There was lots of excitement as our young detectives investigated the scene, searched for clues and shared their ideas about what might have happened. The children were full of curiosity and asked some fantastic questions. We are looking forward to exploring Beegu's adventures over the coming weeks!

On Monday, we had a wonderful trip to Rickmansworth Museum, where we learnt more about the history of our local area. The children particularly enjoyed the quiz organised by the museum staff, which encouraged them to explore the exhibits and discover interesting facts. We also enjoyed a local walk, looking at familiar places and learning more about their history. The children were absolutely brilliant throughout the visit, showing enthusiasm, curiosity and excellent behaviour. We were very proud of them!
