London Eye Mystery
27 Sep 2024
Recently we've been working on our narrative writing in English, where we've focused our attention to the London Eye Mystery, which is a novel we're midway through about a boy who goes missing while riding on the London Eye. Impossible we all thought, but it happened.
Using this as inspiration, we have written our own opening chapter where a lead character goes missing in seemingly impossible circumstances. Check out some of our pieces.
We've been brushing up on our place value and looking at how numbers increase/decrease in place value when multiplied/dividied by 10, 100 and 1000 and these girls successfully managed to complete the the puzzle by correctly matching cards to form a shape.
And to round off the week, we've been looking at how the Romans shaped modern-day Britain by bringing their technology and organisation with them. Thanks to them, we began our road network, which interestingly enough, our current road network is largely still based on, following the same routes as the Roman roads laid out all those years ago.
We looked at the creation of Hadrian's wall and the towns around today which all trace their ancestry back to Roman origins. The children looked for these towns on a map, plotted them onto a UK template and connected the cities along famous Roman routes, visualising how the Romans organised our country
