English

We have been exploring different dragon poems this week. We used similes to describe a dragon, wrote our own dragon poems and then read them to years 3 and 5.

Phonics

Some of us have comparing the aw and au sounds.

Some of us have had one final recap week comparing the different 'ee' spellings. We've been spotting them in our books and reading longer passages of text with them in.

Maths

We have been continuing to learn about measuring time. We used the iPads again to count in seconds.

We have also been doing a lot of arithmetic practise!

R.E.

We read about Jesus performing one of his miracles by helping His disciples catch fish. We decorated our own fish for the RE display.

Then we read about Jesus teaching little children. We made our own banners to welcome Jesus, writing the word 'hello' in different languages.

Geography

We found the oceans and seas that surround the UK in the atlases. We sang the oceans song to help us remember their names. 

Science

We conducted an experiment to see whether objects were waterproof or not waterproof. We had lots of fun using pipettes to squirt water onto different materials!

Art

We made our medals! It was great to see so many different ideas and designs, showing each child's individual personalities.

See our pictures here.

Forest School

We were in our nature area this week. There was a lot of mud inspired learning! Great imagination and teamwork was shown.
