All Aboard!

In English this week we have been reading poems about trains and responding to them in different ways like clapping the rhythm and thinking of Wow words. Then we thought what we might see on a train ride through Redbourn:
A bumpy river - Ethan
Spotty cows - Sophia
Wavy green grass - Harry

We took this learning forward in music too. We composed our own pieces of music about trains using our bodies and voices. We did this as a whole class then in small groups.

In maths, we have been dividing by sharing numbers into 2 equal groups. We learnt that if you tried to divide an odd number by 2, there would be one left over. William remembered this was called a remainder.

In science we did a fun investigation with a paper waterlily. We predicted what might happen when we put the waterlily into water and then tried it out...
The petals opened - William
I was surprised because I thought it would sink - Jessica

In PSHE we learnt about the different food groups and our home learning us to create a healthy, balanced meal.

The Star Award this week was given to Harry for persevering with his maths and listening to feedback. This meant he could divide by 2, showing his working. Well done, Harry!
William is this week’s Learning Owl - he’s been a great friend and also taken responsibility for his own learning. He’s listened well and tried his best. Well done, William. Have fun with Snowy.

Enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend everyone.
