Stars of the Week
w.b 8.12.25
We have had a great week with learning all about shadows in Science. We carried out an investigation to see how shadows change when objects move away from a light source. In Maths, we have been converting units of measurement and in our writing we have been continuing our persuasive arguments. We had so much fun during our Santa dash too!
We have had a busy week with visits to Father Christmas and Christmas dinner! In our Maths lessons, we have been learning how to multiply and divide decimals. In writing, we have written a diary from the Pig's point of view and considered the evidence to decide if the Three Little Pigs were guilty of killing the wolf. In PE, we continued developing our tag rugby skills.
Aragon class visit Father Christmas!
DT- making our pulley-powered cars. We finished the frames and completed the circuit with a switch, motor and batteries to make our cars work.
In our English, we will be investigating the story of the 'Three Little Pigs.' We will be exploring the story and deciding who is guilty. Our work is based on a video this unit. We have written a diary entry from the Wolf, detailing how he feared for his life!
In Maths we have been learning how to add, subtract, divide and multiply fractions. We are now moving on to think about decimals and the place value of each digit.
Trip to the park!

In Science, we have been learning about classifying invertebrates!

Friday 17th October
In DT today, we cut the wood to make the bases for our pulley-powered cars. We needed to be accurate with our measurements and safe with the hacksaws. We worked well as a team and are ready to glue our bases together next.
