In Science we have been looking at the digestive system. We conducted an experiment. A video that shows the experiment can be found below.

After the experiment the children cut out and, hopefully, stuck the organs in the correct places.....

We started our new Literacy unit this week, The King who banned the dark, and started with discussing what a means to persuade someone. Then we moved on to a class dabate with pros and cons for or against banning the dark. Kingfishers were brilliant!

Today we discussed our most recent Science experiment: How damaging certain liquids are to our teeth. Instead of teeth we used eggshells as this is close to the enamel protecting our teeth. It was quite surprising what the eggs looked like after one week in the liquids.

As always, we have been busy. In Literacy we continued with our 'Arthur and the Golden Rope' unit and the children started planning their graphic novel. The last few days we have focussed on extending our sentences with expanded noun phrases, prepositional phrases and subordinating clauses.

In Maths we have moved on to addition and subtraction and are still working on rounding to the nearest 10,100 and 1000.

History has taken us to the Roman Empire and we have discovered how big it was and which ruling system was the most efficient (emperor, king or republic). In PE we have started with our netball sessions and have practised our 'chest pass'.

We are already at the end of Week 1. We have been extremely busy these past days.

In Literacy we have started out unit 'Arthur and the golden rope'. At the end of this unit the children will have created an alternative mission for Arthur in style of a graphic novel. Combining art and literacy- what an amazing start to the year.

In art we have started with the topic 'collage' and the children have looked at different styles of collages. Our end project will be making collage cakes! Yum!

In history we have been looking at the story of Romulus and Remus and included acting and story telling.

In Maths we have started with placing 4 digit numbers on number lines, which is not that easy!
