In English, we have have been throughly enjoying reading 'The wolves in the Walls' by Neil Gaiman. We had an experience day today, and tried to imagine being frightened in bed on a noisy night. We made sure we had a comfort toy or blanket toy to help us through it! The classroom was darkened and we listened to atmospheric music/sounds to help us think about how how our bodies responds might respond when we are frightened.
25th February 2022
In Science, we have begun the new topic of 'Light' Today we sorted pictures into light sources and not light sources and discussed with reasoning. We then had a dark box with objects in. We had to guess what was in the box when looking through the viewing hole. We repeated this with light. We found out that it was easier to see things with light and that dark is the absence of light.

In Art, we have been looking at shading and texture to draw Victorian objects. We selected part of the object by looking through the view finder. We used a range of graded pencils to draw our pieces of art.
28th February 2022
In Science, we have been looking at shadows. We learnt that you need to block the light source to create a shadow.
28th February 2022
In Art, we have been looking at shading and texture to draw parts of our Victorian school building. We selected part of the building and drew this using a range of graded pencils.
2nd March 2022
In History, we learnt about Victorian inventions and put them in chronological order.
3rd March 2022
In Jigsaw, we learnt about healthy and unhealthy food. We discover the traffic light system on food packaging and we tried to match the amount of sugar that was found in each type of food.

For the 2022 Winter Paralympics taking place in Beijing, we had our very own Paralympic event day at school. We had so much fun learning Kurling.
11th March 2022
In Maths we have been learning about Capacity. We labelled each container, full, empty nearly full and almost full!
12th March 2022
In Maths we continued learning about Capacity. We measured how many full beakers of water filled different amounts of jugs. Here are our results!
12th March 2022
In Geography, we learnt about the different features of river. We matched the pictures, labels and explanation for each feature.
14th March 2022- 18th March
During Science, we focussed on GROWTH. Our main focus was creating an environmental healthy burger thinking about the where and how far the produce for the burger came from. We also made slime with the Year 2's and compared which slime stretched the furthest- Either cold or warm. We enjoyed showcasing what we had learned during Science week!
21st March 2022
During Science, we used torches to observe how light passes through different types of materials. We used opaque, transparent and translucent. We compared the darkness of the shadow and order them from lightest to darkest.
23rd March 2022
During English, we have be focussing on the story The Blue Umbrella. We had a great experience day where we tried to create matching sounds using musical instruments to the film. We also used a program soft murmur to create various sounds for a sound track.
23rd March 2022
During Science, we investigated how we could change the size of the shadow. We changed the distance of the object to the light source and took down measurements of the shadow.
28th March 2022
During Science, we looked at shining the light at varying angles to see what effects it has on the length of the object's shadow.

This week, we did a River Thames Walk. We walked all the way from the Embankment to the London bridge. On our journey, we spotted different buildings, transport and talked about the River usage today and in the Victorian times.
