Class of 2020

We have been learning about the different ways to separate mixtures. Today we have been focusing on sieving. We decided which sieves and colanders to use to separate a variety of solids.

In Maths this week we have been looking at rounding numbers to the nearest 10 and 100. We first worked out which tens/hundreds numbers our chosen number sat between on a number line and then looked at the correct column to round the number.

We used this rounding rhyme to help us:

In preparation for writing our information page about the Loch Ness Monster, we have been looking at magazine pages and identifying key features that they include. We located the heading, subheadings, technical vocabulary, photos, captions, any questions and key facts we could find.

Today, we have been using the Easi-scopes to look closely at different solids such as sugar, salt, sawdust and coffee. The solids were magnified and we could easily see the different particles clearly. We had to try and guess what each of them were.

Today, we started our topic on ‘Solids, Liquids and Gases’. To begin with, we looked at lots of pictures and sorted them into groups. Then we were given a variety of solids and liquids and we investigated the properties of each, thinking of different words to describe them.

We have been working all this half-term on the different parts of our rainforest collages and finally we have put them all together!  We are really proud of our final pictures and hope you like them too!

We have a great time trying wheelchair basketball today.  It was pretty tricky but lots of fun!

What an amazing day we have had at Williamson Park. First we visited the Butterfly House where we learnt all about different animals that thrive in a rainforest environment. It was very warm and humid! We were able to meet a tortoise, a turtle and a cockroach. As you can see from our faces we had…

We had fun getting into time order. Some of us had am times and others pm. We found it wasn’t as easy as we first thought.
