The highlight of the week was learning how to make improvements to a design. We were challenged to make a paper plane. They didn’t fly too far so we made adaptations to them so they would fly further. We continued to change small things and test our planes. At the end of the lesson we had a competition to see who designed a plane that could fly the furthest. Faron won! Not only did his fly the furthest but it was the fastest too.

We have been writing narrative texts over the last couple of weeks. We are using images and ideas from Pobble 365 to inspire our written work. Our main targets are that we can write with description. That description could be adding adjectives, adverbs, similes or extra information to our sentences.

In maths we have continued linking our multiplication to our division work. We have also started learning about information handling. We enjoyed drawing pictographs this week.

Our new topic is about transport in the past. We have started looking at planes because we have an airport nearby. Next we will be learning about other modes of transport.

We all really enjoyed taking part in the dodgeball house competition today.

Skills Academy started today and everyone went to a group of their choice. Some people were baking, some were learning how to crochet while others were coding.

Half of the class have given their talk. We have learned facts about a variety of people ranging from Emma Watson to David Beckham. We have been giving each other feedback to let everyone know what went well and how they can improve.
