We’ve been to the zoo…!
What a super time we’ve had today at Twycross Zoo! The children have really enjoyed themselves and had a wonderful time.

They have used their learning from researching micro habitats to think about the conditions and think about the materials they would need to build their designs. We have used our mathematical skills to make large 3D nets to […]

We have learned o’clock, half past, quarter past, quarter to and as an extra challenge some children have been learning telling the time to 5 minute intervals e.g. Five minutes past 9. Have a look at the question below and find which clock […]
