What is a prefix?

This week is English, we have been learning about prefixes.  We have been focussing on the prefix 'un' and how this can change the meaning of the root word.  We have also been having some additional phonics practice in preparation for the phonics screening check next week.

In Maths, we have been working practically to recognise equal and unequal groups.  We have also been adding in 2s, 5s and 10s to help us add equal groups and we have been learning how to make arrays.

The children really enjoyed learning about primary colours in Art, and how they can make secondary colours using them.  We used play dough to mix the colours and made purple, green and orange.  In Science, we looked at the different plants that grow around our school and in History we looked at the features of a seaside holiday.
