Today we enjoyed being outside spotting symmetry in nature and also on ourselves! We were really good a5 spotting shapes that weren’t symmetrical too!
We then went on to work in pairs to create our own symmetrical patterns. We took time to check and double check we had all the parts facing the right way and placed in exactly the right positions. It was great fun and we really enjoyed looking at all the patterns we had made too.
As a treat for Easter, Miss Hunter organised for us to watch a pantomime! We really enjoyed watching it this afternoon. We also had some fun tasks to do related to the pantomime like a colour by number maths sheet for one of the fish characters and a wordsearch to look for the words and the characters from the pantomime.
What a lovely afternoon! 🎭
Lots of us have enjoyed building using Lego and Knex, here are some photos from the last few weeks!
Here are the finished products…

Yesterday we were learning about the different jobs that people did in a castle in the olden times. We discussed and drew what job we would’ve liked to do. 🏰
What a productive morning we had today on this lovely cold and bright spring day.
Firstly we went on a triangle hunt then made triangles with our bodies before organising ourselves into the shape of a triangle.
Next we played some games to practise the mental maths strategy – friends of ten.
And finally we made some ten rockets…look at all the calculations we made!
Our cress has really grown since Monday! They needed a few days in darkness but are now ready for the sunlight. We all took it in turns to water our plants. (The anti-bac bottle is filled with water!)
We can’t wait to see how much they’ve grown on Monday! 🌱
This afternoon we looked at our favourite castles and then tried to recreate them using recycling/junk materials. 🏰👍📦
We were invited to watch the cereal box domino run. Whilst waiting we looked at the clouds and Ibrahim spotted a cloud that he thought looked like Santa’s sleigh. ☁️ 🎅🏻
Then the cereal box domino run started, it was super fun to watch! 🥣 📦
Today we continued looking at germs. We conducted a bread experiment and can’t wait to see what happens next week! We had 4 slices of bread: 1 slice wasn’t touched by anyone and Miss Davidson wore gloves and put it in a bag, 1 slice was touched by everyone with unclean hands, 1 slice was touched by everyone after they had washed their hands, and the last slice was wiped on the desks and laptops. I’m sure we will spot some germs and mould soon! 🦠😬
After, Miss Davidson “coughed” on everyone using the airzooka gun and we discussed the importance of using our hands or elbows for coughs and washing our hands.
We then created posters about our learning and the importance of washing our hands!
