Weekly News w/c 22.04.19

We have started our new Power of Reading mystery book this week.  First, we looked at an unusual image showing a bedroom that was transforming into an interesting looking forest!  We wrote thought bubbles to show what we thought the character was thinking.

Then we described a second image using exciting adjectives and similes and had some very aspirational writing.

In maths, we have started to learn about multiplication.  We have been making arrays with cubes and drawing arrays to help us solve problems such as, 2 x 5, 5 x 9 and  10 x 3.

In science, we have started learning about light and shadows.  We investigated how Dippy the Dinosaur's shadow changed during the day by marking and measuring it.

We found that the shadow got shorter as the day went on and moved round to the right.

We also had fun seeing what different shadow shapes we could create using our bodies.  We made some scary looking creatures, including one with 6 arms!

Next week, we are looking forward to our trip to Jurassic Journey.  The trip will take place entirely within the normal school day.  The children will need to wear school uniform and bring a packed lunch and water bottle with them.  Thank you to all the parents who have volunteered to come with us. 

Enjoy your weekend.
