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. We are currently learning all about fractions in this unit of our maths. We have been comparing equivalent fractions and here are some that we have made. In Geography we have been learning about the world. We have been looking at globes and Atlases to find countries around the world. Through this we have learnt about the Equator, Longitude and Latitude ! We have made our own globes, using balloons and paper, so that we can create our own world, with fictional countries and we made sure that we included the Equator around our globes.  To continue with our topic of plants this half term, we have been planting sunflower seeds for us to look after and to see how they will grow. We have also planted cress seeds in compost, sand and cotton wool to see the difference in the growing conditions. Today we came to school in our comfy clothes with books to share with our friends. We did lots of different activities looking at books, designing our own book covers, characters and bookmarks. We had a scavenger hunt to find different items in our books and acted out stories to our friends. Over the last few weeks during our 3D unit for art, we have been making Paper Mache bowls, painting them and then protecting them with a clear solution. Here are some of the different stages we worked through to complete our bowls.  During our history lesson today we were learning about the differences between how people lived in Bronze Age and the Iron Age. We made a village of our own roundhouses.
