This week we have started a new geography topic all about villages, towns and cities. We have looked at the 4 countries that make up the United Kingdom and their capital cities. We then focused on our capital city, London, reading maps to find out whether there are more human or physical features in the city centre.

We had a very special visitor to class on Wednesday. Child author Max and his Mum came to Carr Mill. Max has 2 sisters with autism and has written 2 books that have been published. He took questions from the class and they found the session really interesting!

In computing we have started a digital photography unit. We had so much fun this week taking photographs of each other and objects in our classroom. We had to think about what makes a good photograph and how to improve our photography skills.

In English we have started a new booked called 'The Tiger who came to Tea'. We can now all retell the story and have started to think about describing the main character, Sophie.

In maths we are learning how to divide and know that when we divide a number we must 'share into equal groups'.

Next week we will be continuing to learn about the four countries that make up the United Kingdom and we will find out more about our local cities, Manchester and Liverpool. Our VIP next week will be for someone who has shown excellent knowledge in our Geography sessions.
