This week we started our new maths topic of shape. As well as identifying properties of 2D and 3D shapes, we have been exploring which shapes tile. Look at our patterns and designs…

Food Preparation
This week, we explored the different food groups. We played a relay race where we had to place each of the foods in the correct group. We then designed a sandwich for someone based on a given criteria. We had to be careful of allergies in particular.
Today, we made our sandwiches and enjoyed eating them. They looked delicious.
Marble Run
Check out our marble runs! We were asked to design a marble run that lasted the longest in duration, not length. We created different obstacles to slow down the ball. It was difficult to try and build our design in an hour!
Number Sequences
This week we started looking at pattern and sequences. We started off by making patterns using shapes and colours. Then we looked at number patterns and worked out the rule of the sequence. Some of us even worked out the rule using negative numbers.
Happy Easter
Happy Easter from all at Sorn Primary School.
Have a lovely holiday and I hope you all enjoy the chocolate filled break.
Science Morning
Thank you to Mrs Smith and Mrs Sewell for visiting us today and providing us with some amazing and exciting science activities.
We got to count how many drops of water we could fit on coins, make a clamp stand following the instructions and sort beads and pom poms by colour and shape.
We learned how to use different apparatus like magnifying glasses, the clamp stand, stopwatches, droppers, thermometers, measuring cylinders and tweezers.

Easter Fayre 🐣
What an afternoon we had at our Easter Fayre!
The school was packed with visitors to have a go at each of our stalls. Even the rain didn’t stop our Beat the Goalie or the popular Sponge the Teacher activities.
A huge well done to the children for organising the event and massive thank you to our families for coming along and supporting our fundraising efforts. Our grand total will be announced soon so keep your eyes peeled.
Cross the Line
Today we took to the playground for a health and wellbeing task. Mrs Connell asked us a series of questions and if we agreed or experienced it, we crossed the line. Some questions asked about hair colour, or talents and interests… others were a bit harder, such as if we had been bullied or experienced the death of a pet. We learned a lot about each other and said that when more people crossed the line together, we felt supported.
Money, money, money 💰
Today Mrs Connell asked us what we needed money for. We made a list of all the different ways we use money. We also talked about help available to support people too. Identifying coins, working out change and total costs are just some of the activities we’ve been up to.
