Explaining Science!

This week, we have joined our English and science learning. We have been reading explanations and finding out how hot air balloons work. We used pictures and sentences to describe this.
First, it's on its side. Lucas
It gets full up with cold air until it's standing. Arlie
Then hot air goes in and it starts to rise up. Thomas
There''s a lever to open the flap at the top of the envelope and when it opens, it lets the hot air out and the cold air comes in. Then the balloon comes down carefully. Georgia.

We explored forces and how we can make things start and stop, move faster or slower. We had great fun on the bikes and scooters.
I was challenged to get down the ramp without pedalling. I shuffled in the seat to make it move from the flat part to the slope. Finally I went really quickly down the slope. Grace







In maths, we have used last week's  learning about arrays to solve multiplication problems. Mrs Hinchliffe has challenged us to bring in arrays we find at home, or a picture of some. So far, we have egg boxes, an ice cube tray and a Connect 4 board. 

In science, we continued investigating paper waterlilies. We found out what happened if we put them in hot water or cold, soapy water and we used a cardboard waterlily. We all recorded our results in a table- maybe we can tell you what we found out!

We are practising our Country Dancing and can't wait to show you next week - 2pm on Thursday for the Community Tea, 9:10 on Friday for the May King and Queen. The Governors will be serving pastries on Friday morning.

Our Home Learning is to design a programme cover for the Summer Sizzler on June 30th. We could also practice our phonics by playing a game on Phonics Play https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/BuriedTreasure2.html 

This week's Star Award is going to Chrisanthi for making god choices about her learning and trying really hard. Well done, Chrisanthi!

Our Learning Owl this week is Georgia for using some really good explanations in science and persevering with her maths. Well done Georgia, have fun with Snowy. 

Have a great weekend- see some of you at the Fun Run!

Walking to School and May Dancing

We've really enjoyed walking to school this week. We went past the finish line on our chart because so many of us walked. It was good fu...
