These pictures show us working together to produce a poster about our chosen sense.
We had to investigate one of the five human senses, make notes and diagrams to help our understanding, then work together to make a bright eye-catching poster.
We think we did well.
On Monday we were joined by a new teacher. Her name is Miss Withers.
Miss Withers has been spending time getting to know us and working with groups.
She will be with us for a few weeks. Mrs McCulloch is very happy to have another pair of hands to help in the classroom!
Over the last few weeks, while looking after our eggs and alevin, we have been helped by visiting scientists, Gemma, Paul and Emma. We have felt very proud to have looked after these lovely creatures during this part of their life cycle*. We have also been pleased to share our knowledge with Gemma, Paul and Emma. Thank you to them too, for answering all of our many questions.
Hopefully we can continue to look after our fish well until it is time to release them in a local waterway.

Our hatchery was delivered by Gemma (Dr Gemma Jennings) on Monday 16 January. She set it up for us and showed us how to look after it. Our trout eggs would not be delivered for another week, so in the meantime, we had to practise keeping the tank cool and at a steady temperature for our eggs.
In class we have been learning about how to eat more healthily with Mrs Kaur. We used a child-friendly website to research different nutritional needs. The food pyramid was a great guide to how much of each food group we should eat.
The food groups include: fruit and vegetables, carbohydrates, e.g. pasta, bread and rice, protein, e.g. chicken, beef, and fish, dairy and fats and sugars.
Below is a link to an advert written by Kristie, Stacey, Lucy and William to promote healthy lunches for younger pupils.

Here you can see two posters about healthy eating. The first is by Kristie, Stacey, Lucy and William.
The second is by Grace, Lauren McE and Carys.
In Literacy, we have been learning about how to recognise a set of instructions. We worked together and in pairs to text mark, and agree what made a good set of instructions.
In the pictures above, you can see how well we worked together to agree a set of success criteria,
