In crew, our UKS2 children have been enjoying reading their books outside with their friends. They discussed which books they have read this week. They shared the author of the books, the genre and a summary of the texts so far. The children then each made a pledge to read a recommend text next. We have been able to build on our ‘texts we have read’ displays and we have nearly met our class targets!
We love to read in UKS2! 🙂

Today we conducted an experiment to test the melting rates of chocolate.
We placed a chocolate button in different locations and timed how long it took to melt. We took the temperature at the same time.
We had some interesting findings, that really made us think and draw conclusions – why did the chocolate in the Bubble not melt at all, even though the temperature reading was very similar to outside – where the chocolate melted in 2 minutes? We had a discussion, and decided that there was a variable – the concrete on the playground was very warm, but the carpet in the bubble was not.
We have loved doing the experiment and next we will put our findings down on paper in a scientific report.

In our story this week, the mermaid was running out of time. It started with ten minutes and on each page a minute passed. We used our cubes on the carpet to represent the minutes passing. We could see the minutes that had passed on the floor and the minutes that were left in our hands. We saw our number bonds to ten and the subtraction facts that go with it. We loved seeing the patterns and some of us knew the numbers because we can remember our number bonds to ten, without having to count. After that, in provision, some awesome mathematicians wrote down what we had found out.
At the weekend, Thomas ran 3km! We are all so proud of him, We will put his picture in the sports hall of fame for all to see.
I was so proud to take the Year 5 book club to the Doncaster Storytelling Festival at the Dome on Tuesday.
We have been reading and reviewing books all this year and the Festival was the culmination of all that work.

Over the last couple of weeks, Years 3 and 4 have been working as scientists and experimenting with states of matter: trying to find out if temperature affects the rate at which matter changes state. Our final task was to investigate the quickest way for Mr Wonka to create his chocolate river if all of the chocolate he has only exists in solid form.
Here we are, trying to think of different ways Mr Wonka could try to melt his chocolate…I wonder which location or method worked the best and melted the chocolate the quickest?
Now to consider our findings and draw conclusions for Mr Wonka!
