This week in Year 1, our focus in Inquiry and our Rainbow Challenges has been Remembrance Day. We have enjoyed using resources in the classroom to make poppies, and have made poppy suncatchers which will be part of a whole-class display. We have also planted poppy seeds in our outside area, so hopefully next year we will see these starting to grow.

This week, Year 4 learnt a new digital skill. They created fantastic colourful art using a program called Word Art. By typing in words, choosing fonts, colours and shapes the images almost came to life.

From this, unique beautiful remembrance poppies were produced ready to contribute to a whole school display.

In Year 4 this week, we have been using our science and inquiry skills to explore states of matter. We began by exploring what the states of matter were and then identified what items would fit into each group. We then explored the states of matter further through some investigations. On Tuesday, we investigated liquids and tried to identify if they all behave in the same way by testing how long it takes to pour each liquid into a container. We were really surprised by how long it took to pour the shampoo. On Wednesday, we had great fun exploring ways to turn chocolate from a solid into a liquid. We tested a variety of ways including holding it in our hands to see how long it would take to melt.
