Holes is a great book. If you have not read  holes you should definitely read it.

It is a very popular and powerful book.

There is an animal which after this book was made became a celebrity this is the yellow spotted lizard.

In class we have been learning in science about rocks minerals and crystals we have enjoyed it so far and would like to show what we’ve learned  on our blog.

We have also had a go of making them which has been very fun!

Crystals are a type of mineral!

We have also been studying about the rock cycle were there are three different types of rocks Metamorphic Igneous and Sedimentary.

Metamorphic rocks  

As you  may have noticed this type of rock has different layers the layers have been formed over a large period of years have been pressed down. Some examples of metamorphic rocks are slate and marble.

Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

Sedimentary rock is when lots of layers of rock pile up

We have been able to choose from lots of different tasks for our Holes homework – for example, create posters, quizzes, trailers, book covers, character descriptions inspired by the book.

We have had a busy start to this year! Heres some photos of what the children have been up to!

We have been exploring the theme of “Traditional tales”. We used our talking tub to get the children ideas of which books they liked and ideas of how we could explore them!

We have also been busy at snacktime making apple crumble from apple we have grown/picked out our ELC garden!

Can you explain what the three types of questions are that we have been learning about recently?

Today we held a short memorial service to remember and show our respects to Lieutenant Murray, and all the other fallen soldiers, who died in action 100 years ago today. Second Lieutenant Murray was a Science teacher at Kingsland, when he enrolled into the army to fight for his country.

Here are some of the things that we learnt about WW1 and Lieutenant Murray.

In ICT this term we are trying to improve our typing skills so that we get quicker at producing pieces of work.  We have been using some touch typing games to help us which are great fun.  Why don’t you have a go?  We especially like Typing Adventure and Home Keys Kenny.

We have been creating some simple circuits and found out how to draw these using the correct symbols.  We have managed to make a bulb light up, a motor spin round and a buzzer buzz!
