Science Week, Writing Sequenced Stories and Pointillism!

Welcome back to our blog! You will see another blog filled with amazing learning experiences completed throughout the week.

To help extend our ideas and vocabulary, we have began writing sequenced stories. We have to include a beginning, middle and end.

We make sure we remember to have neat handwriting, finger spaces and to use full stops and capital letters correctly. We are beginning to use openers such as First, After, Next and Finally.

To help us write and read tricky words, we use our knowledge of sounds including phonemes such as sh, ch and th.

Last week we explored Pointillism as we painted a Spring Painting! This week we have continued this to make a cherry blossom tree!

In Maths, we have continued to learn about number bonds. We have focused on adding three numbers too!

In the tuff spot, we were making Symmetrical Pictures and using mirrors to help us!

We are practising to add numbers together using our fingers, number lines and concrete materials. We are recognising to start with the bigger number.

To help us recognise 3D shapes, we tried creating our own using cocktail sticks and chickpeas!

Science week has been so much fun! We have been exploring lots of experiments!

To encourage our creativity, problem-solving skills and engineering skills we were creating models! The trickiest part was ensuring our structure was stable!

We also completed the Coca-Cola and Mentos experiment! We made predictions and hypothesis before we completed the experiment! We were real Scientists. We learnt about gas (Carbon Dioxide) and observed that the bubbles of gas had gotten larger. We realised as they are lighter than the cola liquid, they quickly shot to the top of the bottle!

This week could not have been busier! What a great week it has been!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! 🙂
