This week in maths we have been using positional Language. We moved the teddy to different positions and we will be looking at using this language within our play. 
 

We focused on ‘in front, behind, on top, next to’.  

Take a look at some super investigating we’ve been doing in Science recently! Yesterday, we investigated shadows, proving that shadows are a similar shape to the object that cast them! Today, we’ve learnt all about refraction and used water, straws and other objects to see how refraction creates…

This week in Grammar we have focussed on identifying the different types of word classes. We enjoyed identifying these in our independent writes using our IPADS!

This week in Science we have had a look at our experiment to analyse the rate of evaporation of different types of liquids at room temperature. We predicted that the beaker with the lid would have the most amount of evaporation because the lid would create more heat. However our experiment showed…

Carrying on with our work from last week, this week Y5 have done a range of role play activities to make their characters come alive. This helped the children really understand the characters they are going to be writing about in ways such as how they talk, how they interact with others and how…

Our year 2s got chatty making their chatter box’s today! They made them very colourful and shared some very kind  and positive comments to each other!

we changed our voices to match the emotion and made our own actions. We…

Today we looked at a range of persuasive techniques in letters. We learned what they were and then found examples to help us in our writing this week. 

We have been practising our use of line and shape in art this week, by drawing polar bears using our observational skills. We started with a small circle in the middle of the page to create the nose, and then worked our way out, adding further circles for the head, eyes and ears. We drew curved…

Today in history we learned about what The Crystal Palace was and what you could see if you visited The Great Exhibition as well as who could go and visit. We used our iPads to record our answers. 

This week we have been tracing around different shapes. We have then practised forming the shapes independently. Our pencil grips have improved so much since September and our control with a pencil is always improving. 
Great work Ducklings 

Today the children have been comparing the Arctic and Antarctic to the UK. We discussed the climate and how this is different along with how people travel around in the polar regions compared to how we travel in the UK. We love geography in reception class!
