In Maths, we have been learning multiplication, making links between numbers for example; 2x3 =, 20x3= explaining we multiply by ten. We have also been learning how to multiply using column (long) multiplication, using the place value table to help us partition numbers.

In Art, we explored mixing primary colours using powder paint to creating our own secondary colours. Then the children created names for their new colours. The children were fully engaged in their learning, they made some great colours and came up with some fantastic names. (see attached)

In R.E, we have been learning the story of the ‘Pentecost’ and what this means to Christians. We have been looking at different pieces of art work to represent Pentecost and explained our thinking.
