On Monday we went to Dams to Darnley, we went pond dipping and played minibeast bingo. We found lots of water scorpions and boatmen in the pond, it was really fun trying to identify them and show everyone what we found.

On Tuesday we went to Summerlee for our Victorian topic. We got to go down into the coal mine, it was a bit scary because there was music playing in the background, it was dark and there were manikins! We also saw the village and houses through the different decades. The workshop was great fun! We played with Victorian toys and we were writing with ink. Some of us dressed up and we got to look at different items from the Victorian era.

Our class just won the Eco Advert so we are going to create our video and put it forward for the competition. We are hoping it will be chosen and shown during the X-Factor one Saturday night!

This week in PE we had our last time of doing football before we move onto a different sport. We played a warm up game called dodge tig which was great fun! We got to play football matches and some people got to referee.

We have taken part in the road safety poster competition and come up with great slogans to keep everyone safe. We also had our vote for our Junior Road Safety Officer (JRSO) and Ella and Mark will represent our class.

Euler is about to learn lots about decimals and link this into their learning about fractions.

Pythagoras is continuing to investigate place value up to a million. We are writing numbers in words and digits.

Turing have been learning about function machines and it is fun!

In writing this week we wrote terrifying scary stories! We used a wide range of vocabulary and imagery to create suspense in our stories. We read some of our stories out to the class because we enjoyed writing them so much.
