Science
In Science, we have started our unit on "Forces and Magnets."
We explored the idea that forces are pushes and pulls.
We organised each action, deciding if the force was a push or a pull and if the force was starting or stopping the movement.
Maths
In Maths we have been looking at angles. We explored right angles, angles that are smaller than right angles and angles that are bigger than right angles.
We also looked at perpendicular and parallel lines.
Gymnastics Apparatus
Our reward for winning the PSA Steps Challenge was 30 minutes of using the Gym apparatus in the hall. We had lots of fun putting our gymnastics knowledge to the test!
Anti-Bullying Week
This week was anti-bullying week.
We watched a live lesson by the BBC and this year's theme is 'Choose Respect.'
In pairs we created acrostic poems using the word 'RESPECT'.
Rocks
We have been learning about rocks in science.
We used Slate, Marble, Granite and Chalk and discussed what types of rocks these were. We then used water to test the permeability of them (does water get through) and their density in water (do they sink or float).
PE - Tag Rugby
Today we had our last lesson on Tag Rugby and we put all our newly learned skills into practice.
DT
In DT we have been focusing on 'Shell Structures'. We designed our own nets using Purple Mash and then folded them into boxes. Here are a couple of our designs!
