Thomas Willingale School and Nursery
Summer Term
Week of 21.04.25
What a lovely first week back, although it's hard to believe that we are already in Summer Term!
In English, we have been preparing for our next piece of writing which will be a recount of the witch hunt craze of the 17th Century. This has been a fantastic historical topic that fits in with our work on Beliefs. We have looked at the following questions:
Why did people in the 17th Century believe that people were witches?
Why was the 17th Century such a busy time for witch hunts?
Were the witch trials fair?
As well as researching all of these questions, we did some drama and freeze frames of the Ordeals by Water and the Ordeals by Fire - truly a gruesome time to be a woman and worse if you were old and poor! Enjoy the photos!
In Maths, we looked at area of composite shapes and also the last of our new learning: area of triangles and parallelograms. We have used this time to check back on any learning that we are unsure of so we are revising as much as we can and having a practice. Everyone worked hard on their homework over Easter and can see how this consolidates our class learning.
We finished the week with a fun PE lesson of rounders - healthy competition and great fun. Thankfully the sun was shining and we're looking forward to more sun and heat next week.
Next week is Mocks Week, our final round of tests before the SATs in May. we know that the children will try their very best, stay positive and have a growth mindset.
Have a great weekend everyone and see you next week.
