In English, we focused on the greatest fire of London in 1666. We worked on describing fire, using adjectives, expanded noun phrases, verbs and feelings. In addition, we read the story, recognizing the characters and analyzing the life in 1666.If you would like to continue this work at home, your child can create a word mat of adjectives and write some sentences based on the fire of London.
In Maths, we focused about subtraction facts, using FIRST, THEN, NOW and identifying the inverse operation. It would be great if you could continue practicing this at home.
In Science, we focused on materials such as: metal, wood, fabric, plastic and glass, having the opportunity to investigate more about their properties, and explore the classroom and surroundings.
