This week, Mr B has set Year 4 a challenge to become ‘Decimal Detectives’! Following on from our learning in maths around fractions, we are now focusing on decimals. Our first task was to match the correct decimals to the corresponding fractions.
In PE, Year 3 read a map to locate the orienteering markers. We worked in groups to work out where each marker was and recorded it. Year 3 are really enjoying their orienteering unit in PE this half term.
In Science, Year 3 completed a scientific investigation to measure the strength of different magnets. We predicted which magnet would be the most strongest.
We then tested the different magnets and recorded the results.
Year 4 continued their work on classification in science last week. We looked at the different ways to categories living things, starting with the plant and animal kingdom. Focusing on the animal kingdom, we then sorted our animals into vertebrates and invertebrates, then further categorising these into birds, fish, mammals, reptiles and amphibians.
Year Three produced a video thinking about grammar. We wrote down all we knew about Forces and Magnets and invited Mrs Wells, our science lead, to observe our presentations on all we know about Forces and Magnets.
Reception have concluded their salvation unit in RE by focusing on the message of forgiveness in the Easter story. We created forgiving hands with Mrs Chalder and spoke about the importance of saying sorry and forgiving one another.

In maths year 1 have been looking at mass and volume. To explore the correct vocabulary the children used containers to help understand full and empty.
In computing this afternoon year 1 have been looking at grouping data and how they can answer questions about information. We then finished with our gold task and discussed as a whole class what we have learnt about grouping data throughout the unit.
The caterpillars have arrived in our Reception class today.
The children selected and named a caterpillar.
They all have a pet caterpillar to look after.
Wow ! How exciting.
Year 4 have been looking at consolidating all of their learning in the current geography topic, Misty Mountain, Winding River. We completed a hunt around the nature garden for questions which we had to work together to answer. Year 4 wowed staff with their knowledge and how well they were able to answer the questions on all they had learned!
