Throughout this theme of ‘Come Fly With Me: Arctic’ we have been looking at the different animals and how they survive in a harsh environment. We discovered that many Arctic animals have blubber to keep them warm. We decided that we wanted to see what difference blubber makes to an animal. We became scientists and we placed our hands in icy water. We then placed our hands in blubber (zip pocket with butter in) and put them back in the water. We concluded that the blubber stops the animal feeling cold. It was great fun!
In Science this week, we have been learning all about ‘The Digestive System’.
This is week two of our visit to 🇨🇳 China! We enjoyed exploring noodles with chopsticks, making money wallets, creating Chinese flags, making dragon heads and then having a dragon dance around our school, Chinese writing and of course the food tasting! What a busy week!
Oxford Owl have produced a website, aimed at parents and carers to help with learning at home with their child’s reading, writing and maths and the great thing about it is that it is split up into different age groups. There are lots of top tips and useful information on there that is easy to access and what’s more it’s free.
Year 2 have been learning about the famous scientist Thomas Edison, who invented the lightbulb.
They used their investigation and problem solving skills to complete a circuit and power a light bulb.
The determination paid off and lit up their smiles too!
Today in PE Year 4 have been working on their Gymnastic skills. We learned to hold and control a balance whilst creating a bridge with our bodies. We then looked at making our bridges have two levels, whilst at the same time trying to be symmetrical. We did a fantastic job! Move over Beth Tweddle, here come Year 4!
Year 4 have been using the game ‘Where’s Wally?’ to help with their understanding of prepositional phrases today.
This week we have been learning how to solve problems in maths. We had to use the digits 0-7 once to complete a puzzle square. The aim was to find trios of numbers with a total of 10. The children worked in pairs to plan their approach together. When they did not get the correct answer they tried a new approach demonstrating great resilience. Everyone used good reasoning skills and eventually solved the number puzzle! Well done 7 Blue!
