• Update from Year 3 Teachers

  Year 3 have thoroughly enjoyed Science this week. We’ve been investigating friction using different materials, a ramp and a toy car. The children enthusiastically predicted how far the car would travel on each material before trying the real thing and seeing how close their predictions were!

  Good news for English this week. The children have persuaded Mrs Cave to go on 26 different holidays with their travel brochures! For poetry morning, we read some poems by Walter de La Mare and Edward Lear and wrote our own poems in the style of 'The Owl and the Pussy-Cat.'

  In Year 5 this week, we have started to create our internal structures for our Modroc sculptures! The children used newspaper and masking tape to do this. We also enjoyed writing poetry on National Poetry Day (Thursday), investigating poetry by Walter de la Mare and Edward Lear and from this were able to write a poem in the style of Edward Lear’s ‘The Owl and the Pussy Cat. Our knowledge is growing about Space as we learned about how day and night are caused and were amazed to hear that in some parts of the world at some points in the year, there is almost no daylight and it is dark for most of each day!

  

• Updates from Year 4 Teachers

  This week in Year 4 we used yeast, sugar and water in a zip lock food bag to represent a cow's stomach during digestion. We found the mixture started to bubble and the gas from this caused the bags to expand. 

   

  It was also National Poetry Day on the 1st October and in celebration of this we created our own version of Michael Rosen's poem 'Don't'. We enjoyed creating some nonsense but rhyming 'Don'ts' for our poems. 

   

  Finally, in English we learnt how to write instructions on how to make an Egyptian plaque out of salt dough. Examples of the plaques we made in preparation for this are included below!
