Maths

We learnt about 3D shapes, we found them in class and sorted them into groups.

Drawing Club

This week, we read the story; The Smeds and the Smoos.

We drew the setting of the story and designed our own adventure.

R.E.

We revisited the story of Jesus feeding the 5000. 

We had a discussion about people around the world not having food and drink and how they might feel.

Understanding the World

We learnt more about space. This week we focussed on rockets. We investigated our ideas through an experiment with paper mice and bottles, seeing how far they travel.

We continued our topic about China. We learnt about their schools and about the language they speak.

Expressive Arts and Design

In Art, we made our own planets using pipettes, watered down paint and food colouring. We watched how the colours mixed together and soaked into the paper.

In PE we practised throwing and catching in pairs.
