This term, football has been our focus during PE. We have developed our skills in dribbling, passing and shooting. Today we played a 4 team ‘corners’ match. There was some fantastic skills on display, some great goals, and lots of sweaty faces by the end!
Inspired by the incoming weather storm, we explored the water cycle, and how rain is formed, as part of our Science learning. We replicated the four stages of the water cycle, using water, shaving foam and food colouring to create our own mini rain showers.
We then recorded our experiments by drawing a labelled diagram in our Science jotters.
Today, we continued with our work in Symmetry, incorporating play-based learning to create symmetrical buildings using wooden blocks and Lego. We utilised ICT to spot symmetrical patterns, played sorting games and created our own symmetrical drawings.
As part of our Symmetry numeracy topic, we have been learning to identify shapes which have at least one line of symmetry. We went on a scavenger hunt in the school’s playground, where we found a variety of different symmetrical shapes, including benches, drain covers, the school roof and even pine cones and traffic cones!
Pupils used their clipboards to sketch and then label their findings.
