Weekly Update-17/1/25

Hello everyone,
This week, in our writing, we have been working on the different features required for a diary entry, planning our diary entry and we have just completed our first two paragraphs. The children have been working really hard on these and it’s been lovely to read what they have produced so far.
In maths, our focus has been on multiplying by 10 and 100, dividing by 10 and 100 and using related multiplication and division facts to solve a range of problems. The progress that the children have made has been fantastic and it’s been great to see them using their place value maths mats to show the movement of the digits and to hear them explaining what is happening to the value of the digits depending on which way they move and why.
In computing, as part of our sequencing sounds topic, the children’s first lesson focused on creating two of their own sprites, two backgrounds and a range of movements to be applied to the sprites. The children used Scratch to create their code and produce their basic animations.
Take care,
Mr Kyriacou :)
