We worked with Mrs Wilkinson this week to make snowdrops using a concertina folding effect. Snowdrops are known as the flower of hope as they can be seen so early in Spring. Our pictures have brightened up our classroom window.

We have been learning to divide by 2 this week. Click on the links below for some games that will help you to practice dividing by 2. (choose dividing by 2) Remember to keep up the practice of 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 times tables too!

We had a great time on World Book Day. We spent some time in the morning reading some books from the library that we hadn’t read before. In the afternoon, we listened to The Day the Crayons Came Home by Drew Daywalt. We imagined we were one of the crayons and wrote a message to Duncan. We made crayon hats then went on a book scavenger hunt in the playground. We loved it!

We have been finding out about our skeletons and we put name labels on our skeletons to help us to learn the names of some of the bones. We also used art straws to create our own skeleton pictures. We listened to the ‘Skeleton Dance’ song and did the actions. It was fun!

We watched this clip & we were shocked when we saw the hidden surprise!

We also looked at these pictures – some of us saw one thing, some of us saw another, some of us saw both! We realised that our eyes don’t always see the whole picture first time round.

We are really enjoying our learning on the Human Body for science. This week, we have been learning about the skeleton – what it does and what some of the bones are called. We had fun piecing a skeleton back together and trying to work out which part went where! Next week, we are going to label our skeletons to show the names of the bones.

We have been working very hard this week on understanding our times tables & trying to learn them. We have used cubes to show sets of each table and we have been practising our knowledge in our starter activities and in our maths work. It would be great if everyone could keep practising tables at home. You can download apps onto a tablet or you can search for Hit the Button and choose times tables. We are learning our 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 times tables.

We are learning about our senses and this week we were focusing on sight. We had fun doing experiments where we had to close one eye to see what impact it had on our sight.

FIrst, we got two pencils. We had to close one eye & then try to make both ends of the pencil touch. It was harder than it seemed!

In the next experiment, we had 5 plastic coins. Our partner had to hold a coin above a cup and we had to close one eye then say drop when we thought it was above the cup.

We concluded that our sight works best when both of our eyes are working together.

We have really enjoyed being back together as a class this week. Some of us wanted to say what we’ve enjoyed the most about being back at school.
