Hi everyone. What a lovely week we have had, ending with us all wearing red to show racism the red card. Thank you so much for supporting us in this.

This week we have been thinking about who we would like to babysit for, and how we would entertain them. We put our thoughts down on paper, then planned and wrote our own set of instructions. We loved sharing them with each other. Next week, our focus is going to change. We are going to be writing basic sentences, then building upon them, using adverbials of time, verbs, adjectives and a variety of punctuation. Whilst doing this, we will also be focusing on forming our letters, and developing our handwriting.

In maths this week we have been learning how to add ten to any given number, count on in multiples of ten, and add multiples of ten bridging 100.

In Science this week, we started the lesson by recapping the four main parts of a plant with a big focus on the stem. We then researched water transportation through plants. Once researched, we got to explain the process to a partner. Next, we became scientists and decided to carry out a comparative investigation to find out whether temperature affects the speed that water is transported. With white carnations, water and food colouring, we discussed how this idea could be investigated and set up our experiment with the flowers in food colouring and in different temperatures in the school. We will check the flowers at regular intervals over the next week and observe the flowers before writing up our findings within a conclusion.

In History this week, we learnt about the Bronze Age, by learning how creating metal led to the invention of the wheel. We talked about how this revolutionised their lives.

In PSHE this week, we discussed the importance of showing respect to each other. We made posters which reinforce that we should ‘Show Racism the Red Card.’

Our Computing lessons continue to focus on coding. We were busy making monkeys jump this week, setting timers, learning about nests, and how to include movement in a program.

Well done to all of our super children who have worked so hard this week. Have a great weekend!
