Literacy
This week we were learning about time conjunctions and adverbials when we had an exciting interruption to our work. Whilst exploring the reflection garden, we found a giant mysterious bone and what looked like some teeth or claws. We spent some time thinking about how they may have got there and what they could be from. We decided to record the event in a mind map and have started writing newspaper reports to spread the news.
Maths
In maths this week, we have working on place value and writing amounts in pounds and pence. We have been doing lots of practical work with coins and converting pence to pounds as well as comparing amounts.
Continuing our topic on forces and magnets, we have been experimenting with paper planes. we identified the type of force and discussed the effects of increasing and decreasing forces. We even added an elastic band to the plane to store the energy and release it all at once. We also learnt how to represent different forces with different sized arrows. Experimenting has never been so fun!
In other news... congratulations to Daisy who will be representing our class on the school Eco council and also to Amos for being our new class School Council member. We look forward to hearing all your great ideas and contributions to the wider school family.
Our first team competition has been released this week; designing a flag for friendship. Every entry counts as so get your designs in by Wednesday 28th September.
Finally, well done Ceona for getting wonderful work for the impressive homework booklet, all about dragons, that she brought in this week.
