Weekly News 14th February 2019

This week, we have imagined Arthur's adventure. The children have used amazing language to describe the capturing of the sound of a cat's paw or the climbing of the world tree and have written them up as a diary entry.

We have looked at food chains and used the language of 'consumer' and 'producer' to describe and explain how energy is moved through them.

Continuing to think about healthy teeth, we also spent a great afternoon looking at a variety of low sugar scones, assessing their taste and texture and analysing their nutritional content. We then made our own sweet and savoury scones without using sugar,

In maths, we have been looking at the area of 2D rectilinear shapes. The children really enjoyed this and have developed a high degree of confidence.

Next term, our topic will be 'Playlist' and we will be thinking about music and sound. As a part of our first day, we will be getting the children to make musical instruments. We will also be holding  an impromptu concert just for the Lions and Giraffes. We have asked any of the children who play an instrument (and want to!) to practise a piece over the holidays which they can play to Year 4. Mr Allen will bring in his saxophone and Mr Clarke will dust off his banjo and have a go.
