We used digimaps, globes and aerial photographs to explore our local surroundings and continued to develop our knowledge of the United Kingdom. We created a plan for our classroom, thinking about the relative position of different objects in the room, and represented 3-D space in a 2-D diagram. 

We asked the children if they could create a map of their local surroundings or maybe their kitchen or garden. Extra house points for any maps created this weekend.  

Next week we will be taking part in our design and technology unit. Each child will be designing their own mail delivery vehicle with wheels and axis. 

In English we will be investigating the Great Fire of London. Please keep any and all cereal boxes, each child will need a cereal box during the term as we recreate the houses on Pudding Lane.
