Ithaca Class week ending – 24.01.25

This week in Ithaca…

In English, the children focused on using the ‘Rule of 3’ to write a setting description. They considered using an appositive to describe a character and were able to write the beginning and build-up of the story. Furthermore, the children were able to add tension and detail to their story.

In Maths, the children learnt about dividing by 10 and 100. They were able to notice the link between dividing by 10 and dividing by 100 and visualised making a number one-hundredth the size and recognised that “one-hundredth the size” is the same as “dividing by 100”. Furthermore, the children explored related facts for multiplication and division and used informal written methods for multiplication.

In Science, the children were able to identify different solids, liquids and gases using their properties and described melting and freezing. The children considered the conditions needed for melting and freezing and were able to describe the property changes as a material melts or freezes.
