This week we have had a fantastic week in school learning about Florence Nightingale and the work she did at Scutari Hospital! The children have enjoyed learning about what hospitals were like almost 200 years ago and what work Florence did to improve the conditions in hospitals during the Crimean War.
In English we have started to look at features of instruction writing. We have been reading instructions and then writing our own before trying to follow them to make some excellent friendship bracelets.
In Maths our Year 1 children have been working hard on subtracting 1-digit numbers whilst our Year 2 pupils have been using number lines to subtract 1-digit numbers from 2-digit numbers.
Our new topic has produced some excellent learning and discussion this week and we are excited to have a special visitor on in school on Monday to help further our understanding of life in the 1800s!

Hello!
Welcome to Lime Tree Class's blog.
We will be providing weekly updates about what our pupils have been doing in class and any news for pupils and parents that may be useful.
This week we have started our new 'Fighting Fit' topic, in which we will learn about the life and work of Florence Nightingale. This has led to some excellent descriptive writing about ourselves, and then about Florence Nightingale. We have also enjoyed some interesting Topic lessons linked to how life was different in the 1800s when Florence was alive.
In Maths we have been working hard on Addition and Subtraction. Our Year 1 pupils have been adding single digit numbers and doing some work on number bonds to 10 whilst Year 2 pupils have been adding and subtracting one digit numbers and 2 digit numbers.
All our pupils have started this half term with a fantastic attitude and we are really excited to learn more about Florence Nightingale!
