Maths\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week in maths we’ve been doing something called factors of a number and prime numbers. Prime numbers have exactly 2 factors and normal factors are numbers that can be divided equally into a whole number.\u00a0\u00a0An easy way to find factors and common factors (numbers like 1 and 2 can be common factors because they are factors of multiple numbers) is by drawing a factor rainbow.\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

In science we started to create crystals which will hopefully be finished in at least a few weeks with Miss Steedman.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

We had to make a saturated solution by adding as much salt as possible.\u00a0 Then we suspended a paperclip into the solution using a straw, string and an elastic band.\u00a0 We can’t wait to see if crystals start to form!<\/em><\/p>\n

Also, with Miss Little we\u00a0tried\u00a0dissolving\u00a0a\u00a0solid,\u00a0trying\u00a0to find\u00a0which was faster:\u00a0hot water or cold water.\u00a0Hot water\u00a0was\u00a0overall quickest\u00a0when dissolving salt.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In other areas of the curriculum we have also been very busy.<\/p>\n

In Literacy, we have been learning:<\/p>\n
