Halfway through the first half term! 27th Sept

We are now half way through the first half term – it is so exciting!

 

Science:

If you had seen us in science this week, you would be forgiven for thinking we’d all gone a little crazy! We were blowing our warm breath onto the cold windows of the balcony to show how condensation and evaporation works. We had great fun and it helped us understand the scientific process. We also looked at how fast water evaporated from the floor when we tipped a cup of water out there, and that the inside of a balloon was wet when popped, as the water vapour had condensed.

 

Maths:

This was our final week on place value, before we move onto a consolidation week. We ordered 4-digit numbers in groups. In Big Maths we learnt Roman numerals – it is confusing but we’re starting to find the rhythm of how they work.

 

Computing:

We are still working on our basic skills and have been overlearning opening and saving documents, as well as using search engines to find relevant images of an artist.

 

Gymnastics:

In this week’s lesson of gymnastics, we executed four different rolls: straight roll, barrel roll, straddle roll and the forward roll. We thought hard about our tension and shape in order to complete them. There were so many proud smiles in the room!

 

Y4GH:

Star of the Week is for Levia. She has been so smiley and happy every day, and tries really hard in all her learning.

 

The Learning Principle postcard is for Harrison. He has made such an effort to take care in all his learning, so definitely deserves the Making Careful Choices postcard.

Star of the Week is Lily-Rose because she has worked hard all week with a lovely smile on her face!
