Glow disco event at Longdean school - we loved it!
In maths, we have been learning about place value of 2 digit numbers. We have used lots of practical resources to practise re-grouping numbers.
In science, we have been classifying animals into different groups. We thought of lots of ways to reground animals, such as: adults and babies, animals that hatch from an egg and animals that don't hatch from an egg and animals that live in water and animals that don't live in water. 
In geography, we have been comparing the physical features of Nepal and England. We used a Venn diagram to show similarities and differences between the two countries. We were surprised to find out that England and Nepal had similar physical features!
