Mermaid maths

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.

Sporting Success!

Congratulations to all footballers across school whose clubs have had their presentation evenings. Crew Haycock are extremely proud of their players, here are a couple of them with their awards.

Shout out to Kodish who won keeper of the season!

Good luck next season, everyone!

We can plan and carry out a fair test!

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!

We Care Wednesday Crew

Over the last week, we have been learning about staying safe in the sun. We made posters to remind everyone about wearing sun-hats, finding shade, applying suncream and drinking plenty when it is hot and sunny. We critiqued our posters to check we shared the safety message.

Preparing for our CoL (Celebration of Learning)!

We started the week in mini crews planning what we could have at our celebration of learning. We then did a gallery walk to see everyoine’s ideas. After that, we decided which posters we would need at the event and we worked in pairs to make them. We have been artists and planners and writers!

Active Travel Rap

Last Thursday, we created a rap with actions to promote Active Travel. We enjoyed some physical activity with KS2 on the trim trail and playing basketball to end #NationalSportsWeek #LovePlover

We are Artists – Second draft

Today we had a go at our second draft of our Artwork. The children really worked hard to do their line drawing without using the squared paper to help. We will continue these later on in the week before adding our shading techniques that we have been learning. Well done everyone!
