In Science we have been learning all about magnets. We have been able to identify magnetic materials in our classroom, conducted magnetic experiments using liquids and looked at the effects of north and south poles on each other. We also created a ‘dancing magnet’ structure and a  magnetic game called Go Fish! We had to make the game by ourselves in pairs and then we got to play the game to see who became the winner!

We have been learning about the Romans this term and some of us have particularly enjoyed learning about the Roman Army. We discovered that  Roman Soldiers protected themselves with shields and helmets so we decided to make our own. Here were are looking fierce like Roman Soldiers.

This week we are learning how to keep  safe with medicine.

• We know that medicines are a type of drug.
• We know that medicines should be given to us by an adult.
• We know that medicines are labelled with instructions.
• We understand that medicines need to be used and stored safely.

We created posters all about how to be safe around medicine.  We worked as part of a pair or a trio.

Merry Christmas everyone!

We have had lots of fun creating Christmas crafts this week. We created a 3D Christmas card, a tree bauble a nativity collage and a 2023 calendar.

Today we had our Christmas Party and we had a great time. We played the corners game, pass the parcel, musical statues and musical arms. We also did a lot of great dancing and made it really hard for the teachers to pick the best dancers. Here are some photos of  a great day!

We continued our engineering challenges today  by using Kapla. Firstly we constructed a structure from one of the Kapla books. Then we constructed our own bridges. Here are our constructions.
