We have been learning about volume and capacity. We have been estimating and measuring water using different measuring jugs. We worked in pairs to compare our estimates and then measure with accuracy. We also worked on converting mls and l, ordering amounts from largest to smallest and applied our knowledge to solve word problems.

This week we have been learning about Chinese New Year. We created dragon bookmarks,  Chinese New Year cards, fortune tellers, learned how to write Happy New Year and Year of the Horse in Mandarin and created information booklets about how Chinese New Year is celebrated. We loved learning about Chinese New Year! Gong Hei Fat Choy!

This week we were learning about air resistance and how streamlining can have an impact on speed. We researched streamlining in nature e.g flying squirrels ,  dolphins as well as F1 cars and different Olympic sports. We displayed excellent teamwork in creating posters and presenting them to the class.

This week we have been learning some ceilidh dances. It’s been great fun!

We have been researching Scotland and Robert Burns and creating presentations to share with the class.

This afternoon was our House Spirit Afternoon, where we had the chance to play games and get to know other people in our house.

This week we have been learning about air resistance and how items like helmets, cars and wheelchairs can be streamlined to help increased speed during races. We investigated air resistance by creating different sized parachutes and seeing how fast they fell. We had a great time!

This week we had a great time creating and performing some drama related to our learning in RME. We recorded videos of each group’s drama performance and loved being able to watch them. They were so creative and the acting was very expressive!

This week we were excited to share our writing with each other. It was all about what didn’t happen during our holidays!

We created Dragon Racers to explore and investigate friction. We have been learning why friction can be useful especially with the weather at the moment!

This week we have been very busy with lots of Christmas themed activities. We used Tinkercard to design shelters for reindeer, completed Christmas co-ordinates and had our Christmas party. It has been a lot of fun!

During writing we wrote a dialogue inspired by ‘The Longest Journey’ advert. We created scripts about the conversation the snowpeople had when the snowman returned from his journey. We looked at the punctuation we had to use and how to set out the conversation. We then acted these out and enjoyed hearing the conversations.

We have had a great time this week creating our Sock Snowmen for the Christmas Fair. We were very creative and even created backstories for our snowmen!
