Yesterday we were revising some of the sounds we have been learning over the term. We completed lots of different active spelling activities like using magnetic and scrabble letters to build words, rainbow writing, bubble writing, writing silly sentences and speedy spelling. You can use these at home too to revise spelling words.
We braved the snow this morning and had lots of fun playing in the snow! Some of us wrote our names in the snow, Carrie even wrote my name, we built snowmen, drew pictures in the snow and we had a snowball throwing challenge to see who could throw their snowball the furthest.
Today we learned about advent and made our own Christingle decorations. 🍊 🎀
I was a very busy elf last night and decorated our classroom. We have had lots of fun today working in the Christmas Post Office, decorating our Christmas tree, building sleighs for Santa with Lego and creating and colouring paper decorations.
Over the last 2 weeks we have been learning about a Hindu Gods in RME. Today we compared 2 gods and drew them and wrote similarities and differences. Our drawings were fabulous! 👩🎨

This term we have been working hard and having lots of fun doing Science. We’ve learned about materials and their properties. We have designed and made mini umbrellas, which we then tested by pouring water over them. We were very happy to discover that most of them worked really well and came up with ideas of how to improve the ones that didn’t work.
We have talked about living and non-living things. We are able to tell what the features of living things are and sort them into different categories and explain our decision.
We have also looked at the examples of forces (pushing, pulling and twisting) in the classroom and in the playground, predicting how applying more or less force would change the speed and direction at which objects moves.
Some of us have been bus learning about right angles, quarter and half turns, and creating and following directions.
Look at Finlay’s amazing work. He created his own route and wrote instructions for it. He then got a friend to follow his route in the classroom.
Look at Max’s great work on finding right angles in our classroom.
Charlotte did some amazing work on clockwise turns.
L asked E to listen to his route. E had to listen to the directions and follow them.
Here is Alexander’s super work on shapes that have right angles.
Look at the boys’ amazing handwriting! Today we wrote words beginning with p. The boys and girls came up with lots of fabulous p words! 🌟✍️
Today we were learning about Remembrance Day, ahead of tomorrow. We made our own poppies to wear. Look at how smart we look! 👍🌺
Today we had such an enjoyable afternoon creating rockets! We worked in teams to create rockets that would survive landing back to Earth. We tested them out to see if they would survive from different heights. Some survived, others crashed. We had a lot of fun watching out our rockets land.
