This week we have had answering the scientific question, "Which materials are  soluble, insoluble and which become a suspension," through experimenting in groups with a variety of materials. In our groups we worked out what we would need to answer our question,  which 1 variable we would change and which others would stay the same. We then decided how they would stay the same e.g. what temperature water, amount of water / material. Before carrying out our experiment, we predicted the outcomes and were mainly correct. 

In maths we have continued learning about decimals - adding and subtracting and solving word problems. Next week we will finish this topic and move on to percentages.

In English we have continued telling the Anthony Browne story, Gorilla, in detail. We can't wait to start our independent write next week.

Our yoga sessions are helping with our core strength and wellbeing. Our handball lessons are far more active with lots of attacking and defending.

We had great fun on World Book Day dressed as our favourite characters. It started with us trying to work out, "Who's that behind the mask." All the teachers had read part of The Highway Rat, disguised as animated animals and we had to decide who was who as a class. We guessed Mrs Harper before she even started to speak! We also took part in a live lesson and had a long read of our favourite books.

All the backing tracks and lyrics are now on the website for children to practise fat home or the school play.
