This half term we have learnt lots about England and the capital city London. We have read lots of stories set in London and this has helped to build their understanding. The children used a range of resources to research facts about England and recorded this as collaborative posters. The children also had fun drawing maps of London and constructing models of London using small world resources. They included key features such as the underground system, Tower Bridge and Trafalgar Square. They were even able to locate London on the map!

Ruby Class have enjoyed learning to code this half term. Using Scratch Jr the children made their own maze games. They started by designing their backgrounds to create a maze route. After they were happy with their design, they chose a character that would complete the maze. They added a simple code to their character so it would follow the maze, changing their code where necessary.
