Euler has been revising different types of angles, how to measure them and are starting to more accurate when using a protractor to draw specific angles.

Newton were learning about money, we were counting different amounts and trying to work out the change we would get if we bought different items.

At lunch Caitlin found a very rare ladybug. It was black with two red spots. We decided to call it Crescent and put it back where we found it. We were very excited and included it in our John Muir logbooks.

We were very excited to learn who our House and Vice Captains were.

In PE we continued to learn different skills for possession games. We were having to use our bodies to block people so that we could keep the ball. We enjoyed playing short games of football.

We are really enjoying Underground to Canada and it’s making us think about slavery and how bad it was. We hope the characters managed to get to Canada.

This week we wrote persuasive letters to the government about the UK having plastic bottle deposits. It was really good fun, we are enjoying learning about how we can help protect our planet.

In Science we did an experiment ‘The Yeast Race’. We were investigating the rate of growth of micro-organisms. We used three bottles, water, balloons, yeast and sugar. We put a different amount of sugar in each bottle and it was amazing to watch the balloons inflate. The bottle that had three teaspoons of sugar had the biggest balloon as it produced the most carbon dioxide.

We started to use out Google Classroom at home as part of our homework. We are starting to get the hang of it and will hopefully be able to use it lots throughout the year.
