In PE this half term we are doing a gymnastics unit. In our lesson this week we were focussing on 3-point balances. Look at their pointy toes….. Everyone was amazing! Well done Class 4.

In maths today we have been looking at vertical lines of symmetry. Today we painted half of a butterfly and folded it over to support our understanding of what the symmetrical means.

This afternoon Class 2 took part in a live interactive STEM workshop called ‘Spaceship Earth’. We joined mission control on an exciting observation of Earth where our mission was to view our planet from space and visit the orbiting satellites. We also got lots of answers to our Space related…

Today in maths we explored and made 2D shapes out of sticks. We worked in pairs to work out how many sides and how many vertices each shape had. 

In music today we have been learning about rhythm and beats. We clapped out the beat to the famous song ‘We Will Rock You’ by Queen. We had a little help from some of our wannabe rockstars!!!

In history we have been learning about the moon landings so in English we have based our writing on the book ‘Man on the Moon’ by Simon Bartram. Today we flew to space and imagined what it would be like to step on the Moon. We used drama to express our ideas. 

We have been learning all about Chinese New Year in Class One this week!

In RE today we have been learning about ‘What Muslim’s Believe’. Today we got creative and painted one of Allah’s 99 Beautiful Names in Arabic and recreated an Islamic pattern. 

Our salt crystals are beginning to form! 

We had great fun making and using string telephones in science this week. We learnt about how sound travels and about how sound is measured (decibels).

Today we started an experiment that will take all week to finish. 

We cut out paper snowflakes and have covered them in extremely salty water. 

We hope to observe salt crystals forming on our snowflakes as the water evaporates, or dries.
