This week in class we have been developing our meta skills, with a strong focus on collaboration, curiosity, sense making and critical thinking.

Our learning journey is exploring the big question “How can materials change?” The class began investigating their own smaller question: “What materials are soluble?” Pupils worked together to test different materials in water, sharing their hypothesis before observing what would happen. Through discussion and experimentation, they demonstrated fantastic curiosity and teamwork as they tried to make sense of their results. It was great to see the pupils questioning why some materials dissolved while others did not and explaining their thinking to their peers.

In maths we continued developing our understanding of fractions, decimals and percentages. Pupils worked in pairs to solve Tarsia puzzles, where they had to correctly match triangles by converting between the different forms. This task encouraged lots of mathematical discussion, problem solving and perseverance as pupils worked collaboratively to complete the puzzle.
