Happy Christmas!

In Science, we did an experiment to find out which material was the most waterproof. We discussed the meaning of ‘fair test’ and made predictions.

We all enjoyed performing our Christmas play, ‘The Landlords Cat’. We hope you enjoyed it too.

In Maths, Year 2 children have been drawing base ten to help with adding and subtracting across a ten and exchanging.

In Maths, the Year 3 children have been adding and subtracting using the column method.

In history, we used different clues to find the answers to three key questions. When did the Great Fire of London start?, Where did it start? And How did it start?

In outdoor learning, Andrea helped us plant bulbs around the school grounds. We cannot not wait for bulbs to shoot and see our daffodils in spring.

In Science this week, we have carried out a fun experiment to see which material is the best insulator for keeping an ice lolly cold. The children made predictions, recorded their results in a table and wrote a conclusion. We found out that the bubble wrap was the best insulator.

In Maths, we have used base 10 to help us solve addition and subtraction calculations across a 10. We have learnt how to exchange a ten stick for ten ones.
