We had a lovely time making pancakes today for Shrove Tuesday. A huge thank you to Mrs Martin for helping us and Celeste’s chickens for supplying the eggs!

Week 4 of our big drum adventure and our band has learned how to start and stop playing all together at the same time! Mat gives us a count of 4 so we know when to start and stop playing.

A big well done to Rory who was our drummer of the week!

As part of our topic about natural disasters, we have been looking at the different layers of the Earth and how the crust is divided into different tectonic plates.  We used crackers to represent the plates and red icing for the mantle to show how the plates move against each other.

When the plates move apart (divergent) molten rock erupts creating new crust.

When the plates crash together (convergent) new mountains can be formed.

When the plates slide past each other (transform) they create earthquakes.

Welcome to the Kingsland toy shop!  We created a sales page with a variety of toys which were on offer and we used coins and notes up to £20 to buy toys from each other. We were revising how to write amounts of money correctly, how to add up amounts of money and listing coins to pay for items.

Well done to all the children in P5b who wore their uniforms for thinking day.  They looked very smart!

Some great drumming today with Mat and a huge ‘Well done!’ to Sadie for being drummer of the week.

A huge thank you to all the kind people who donate rocks and fossils for our geology corner. We have loved finding out about the rock cycle and how the different rocks were formed.
