Welcome to our weekly blog!
Our week got off to a great start with our Christmas show performance of ‘Little Angel Gets her Wings’. We were all amazing and had great fun performing. We hope the audience all enjoyed it too.
STAR WRITERS this week are: Rebecca, Sam, Astrid, James, Chrysa, Melissa, Emma and Erin
MATHS
This week in Maths we have been learning how to add several numbers together using mental strategies so that we can get quicker at finding totals. We know that it is easier to find numbers that can make a multiple of 10.
LANGUAGE
We have continued with our persuasive genre of writing and we wrote some really wonderful letters to Santa at the North Pole to try and convince him to bring us some lovely gifts this Christmas and to remind him we are all on the NICE list this Christmas.
HEALTH & WELL BEING
We have carried out an experiment all about how germs spread. We used bread to do this. The first slice was controlled which meant that gloves were used to touch this slice. The second slice hands were washed and then it was touched. However the third slice after lunch one day we all had a turn of touching the bread slice and you can see for yourself the results. We will be continuing to learn more about different types of germs and viruses, their symptoms and more important how to prevent these from spreading.
TOPIC- SPACE
This week we have now started to learn all about our topic Space & The Solar System. Already we have found out:
Francis – Mercury is the closest planet to the sun
Lewis – There are 8 planets in the solar system
Kasiey – Saturns ring is made out of gas and ice
Danny – Neptune is the furthest planet from the sun
