In year 4 the children have been exploring division problems. We are learning to know what to do if we cannot make equal groups. We have learnt the word 'remainder'.
The children used concrete manipulatives to show their solving of problems. Their understanding was fantastic!
Year 3 have enjoyed learning different strategies to add two-digit numbers with exchanging. We worked together using practical resources and recorded our learning on whiteboards.
Y2 and Y3 have been so excited today to find out that we are going to get the chance to take part in Shropshire Bookfest in the Spring Term. This year the focus is on Readers and Writers and the children will have the chance to meet an author, read lots of their amazing books and learn how to create a their own narrative. Then the children will all publish their very own book and these will be entered into an competition. If you would like to know more follow this link

This week Y2 have been using ICT to help us create timelines and understand the order of events and people in the past. We have been learning about some 'Movers and Shakers' who changed the way people think.
Last Sunday, pupils from Year 4 attended the Broseley Remembrance service and read a special poem all about the significance of the poppy. Well done to all of them and other John Wilkinson pupils who were representing their scouting and sports groups.
The Reception class have been busy learning about measuring this week. We have been using unifix cubes to measure items in the classroom but found that we needed to use larger bricks to measure taller items outside!
The Reception class have been investigating 'Marvellous Machines' and looking at how they work. The children particularly enjoyed hoovering the classroom!
This week we have been enjoying finding out about explorers in Y2. We found out why Christopher Columbus is significant and will be comparing him to Neil Armstrong.
Year 5 are learning about Earth and Space. We worked in groups to present our understanding of how night and day is affected by the Earth's rotation on its axis every 24 hours.
This week Year 3 and 4 started their 'Stepping Out' training. They learnt all about how to keep safe as a pedestrian and how to cross the road using 'Stop, Look, Listen and Think'. They are looking forward too showing how much they learnt next week in part 2 of the training.
Year 2 have done some fantastic science this week investigating woodlice and their habitats. We found out most woodlice like to hide in egg boxes!
