We had lots of fun today on our Ancient Egyptian Day completing lots of different activities making Egyptian crafts and pyramids as well as dressing up as Egyptians. To complete our unit about geometry and shape we made different 3D shapes using playdough, cocktail sticks and cardboard nets of the shapes.  Celebrating 70 years of Queen Elizabeth II on the throne TSM will be holding their own street party and activities on Wednesday 8th June.
Come to school in our 1950s theme, in red, white & blue or as a royal. Join in the fun by bringing in your own royal tea! Individual mini pack up for our street party!! This half term we have been learning about forces and magnets. We have been investigating which materials are magnetic and how we could attempt to recreate a compass using magnets. In our History today we have been learning about the great pyramids of Egypt. To start our learning we were given a random amount of cubes, which we had to build a pyramid using all the cubes. It wasn't easy at times- here are some of the pyramids that we have made! We have started our new unit in RE about Sikhism. We have started to learn about the word equality and what it means. In our lesson we all started with the same size ball of clay and had to then make our own pot design. We discovered that even though we all started off with the same, all of our pots were very different. This half term in our science lessons we are learning all about forces and magnets. This week we used our knowledge of the different forces to test out a toy car on five surfaces - wood, paper, foam, foil and sandpaper to see which surface created the most friction. We are all ready to begin our new topic about Ancient Egypt. Our classroom is ready and we have lots of art and craft activities to help with our learning. In Literacy we are going to be reading an Egyptian adventure story about Flat Stanley. To celebrate science week we have been smashing stereotypes and looking at the diversity of various scientists. Our class looked at the work of Jane Colden the first female botanist in America. We participated in two different experiments - why do leaves change colour (using kitchen paper and black pen) and how do flowers open (using paper 'flowers' in water). Here are some photos of our investigations. |
