Welcome to Blackfriars Bridge Class

I can’t believe we are two thirds of the way through the year already! It seems to have flown by! I hope you all enjoy a well deserved Easter break and come back ready to continue with our fantastic learning.

Here is a break down of what we will be covering in Blackfriars this week:

Maths– We will be working on telling the time to the nearest minute on analogue and digital clocks, looking at 24 hour clocks and beginning to solve problems involving time.

English– We will be continuing our unit on poetry, looking at some poems about the Romans and having a go at writing our own.

Reading– We will continue to enjoy our class story The Christmasaurus by Tom Fletcher and we will continue Guided Reading sessions in small groups.

PE– We will be playing team games and thinking about continuing to build fitness through continuous aerobic activity.

Topic– We will be starting a topic about the Romans. We will learn a bit about them, their culture, religion and lifestyle and then begin to look at the Roman invasion of Britain.

PSHE- We will be continuing to think about teamwork, working together and how to get along.
