We have been exploring the properties of 2D shapes in class. We used our knowledge to create tessellation designs. We had fun completing them and are really pleased with the results.

This week has been very busy.

We completed bikeability 1 which was great fun. We are looking forward to them returning in a few weeks.

We have been looking at the art work of Pablo Picasso and started our own self-portrait in the style of cubism. We will post pictures of the display when we are finished.

We have been learning to round large numbers in maths.

We have continued to learn about 2D shapes. We have learned about different types of triangles and their properties.

We researched facts about Ellie Simmonds and wrote a whole class description text based on her life.

We conitnued to read our class novel and designed a new friend to help support Bradley, the main character.

Today we tested our parachutes. Our predictions of the larger parachute falling in the slowest time were correct.
We discovered the importance of carrying out a fair experiment. A few of us found this altered our results.

Day 1 is going well!

The children have really enjoyed the activities and have learned lots!

We have been super busy this week. Below are some of the things we enjoyed.

-We completed our boat designs to add to Skipper’s river.

-We completed our individual jigsaw piece to add to the class puzzle. Look out for a picture of this soon.

-We completed graffiti art to add to back of our i-pad cases.

-We have revised 2d shapes and some of their properties.

-We learned about parrallel and perpendicular lines. We learned to spot these in real life.

-We started running club after school. This is on Thursday’s at 3:30. Those who went really enjoyed it.

-We learned about friction and air resisitance. We are going to finish experiments next week.

Comment with your thoughts about the following questions below.

-What are you most proud of this week?

-What are you looking forward to learning more about?

We are exploring the force of friction in class.

We had fun testing different materials to see which gave the most friction.

Friction is the force between two surfaces rubbing together.

Friction works in the opposite direction of the object movement.

Smooth surfaces create little friction.

Rough surfaces create lots of friction.

It has been so nice to be back in school after the summer. The weather has been kind and we have been very busy in class.

This is some of our completed countryside collages. We are very proud of them!

We have been looking at collage. We started a countryside landscape today  and we will finish next week. We are excited to share our results.

We enjoyed wearing “funky” shoes to school today as part of Walk to School Week.
