Happy Friday everyone!

What a great week we have had!

I think we can all agree that our Science Week was a great success. Please do look below and in the weekly newsletter for photos. You will see how we created paper aeroplanes and gliders using straws, paperclips and folded paper. It was great fun!

In English we have been busy drafting and editing our personal narratives. We are really proud of our efforts and have enjoyed sharing them with each other. Next week we will be starting to look at poems in preparation for writing our own.  

In maths this week we have continued our learning on column addition. We have become really confident now regrouping more than once and adding with hundreds, tens and ones. Next week we will be focusing on our 2, 4 and 8 times tables.

In RE this week, we put our researching skills on, to learn about Easter. We used the chrome books to research on google to find answers to our questions about Easter. When we had found all of our information, we made a poster all about Easter and presented this to the class.

In PSHE, our teachers read a story. It was about two children who found a bag which contained lots of drugs. We stopped to draw what we thought the bag and the drugs would look like, then what the person who had left them looked like. We discussed what we thought the person might do with the drugs, and made a note of this on our sheets. After that, we discussed what we would do if we ever came across drugs and who we could tell.  We thought about what drugs looked like; if they all looked the same. We also thought about whether drugs were good or bad, and how we would know this. Finally, in our pairs, we wrote down five words to describe how we feel about drugs. 

After all our hard work, we are looking forward to having a great weekend.
