Weekly Update 🪑

The talk of our class this week is that our chairs have went on strike.

Our chairs were fed up of crumbs, swinging and trumping they refused to work. In their letter, they wanted an apology.

The class were tasked with writing a persuasive letter in return to win their chairs back. Most decided that they did not need their chairs and their letter stated they were finding other ways to work.

So far only two pupils have persuaded their chairs to come back. Next week, they will have the opportunity to win them back. Stay tuned for any updates…

 

Weekly Update

This week we played Mrs Connell’s Big Writing Game. This game is known for its magical powers of helping the class produce fantastic writing. We wrote descriptions about the setting using similes and then used our gameplay to write a beginning, problem and ending.

We’ve been continuing our work on fractions.

We explored percentages and used the Diene’s materials to create an image of a percentage. Some of use also found a percentage of a number, converting a percentage to a fraction.

What a busy first week back we have had.

On Wednesday we took part in an engineering worship online. We discussed how bridges were made and then were tasked to build a bridge using only paper, sellotape and paperclips. We were given a budget of £100 and the bridge had to be 40cm long. Here are some of our successful bridges.

On Friday, Mykayla and her dad brought in her pet snake Macy to show the class. They answered lots of questions we had about snakes and Mykayla’s dad was very impressed to hear what we all knew already. Macy curled up inside Mrs Connell’s planning folder and Mrs Mackay braved her fears and held Macy.

This week we have been learning about fertilisers and their effects. We started an experiment by planting seeds. We used the same seeds, tubs, water, soil and the only thing we changed was adding fertiliser to one pot.

On Thursday, we checked on our plants but there’s no change as of yet. We tidied up the garden area where we will plant our seedlings later this year.

Congratulations to Heidi who won our Easter Egg Raffle. Happy Easter and a safe and enjoyable holiday to all our families.

Weekly Update

Good afternoon, this week we were leaning volume. We calculated the volume using cubic centimetres. We checked using cubes and some of us used the formula V = l x b x h.

On Tuesday we did a litter pick around some of Sorn. We tidied up behind the village hall and then down towards the entrance to the village. We plan to continue this next week with the whole school. We took part in a live lesson and learned how to write a poem about the environment and how to look after it. Have a look at some of our poems.

Weekly Update

It’s been quite a science week for us.

We have been learning about extinction and endangered animals. This week we started making food chains and then looked at how the ecosystems are related. Then we made a food web using string to show how everything interacts in an ecosystem.

Then on Friday, we took part in a science live lesson, investigating the effects of water pollution on marine life. We used an experiment to see the effects of increased pollution. Our predictions were accurate.
