We have been investigating what happens to solids when they are heated or cooled. We have heated chocolate, butter, wax, ice, jelly, bread and an egg to see whether they changed state and we recorded our results.

We have been looking at information pages in different magazines and finding the key features. We used post-it notes to identify headings, subheadings, labels, captions, facts, questions and key vocabulary. We are going to use these key features when we write our own information page about the…

We have been learning all about the four countries of the United Kingdom including their capital cities.  This map on our classroom wall is there to remind us of their names.

We had a great time dressing up and making puppets to act out the story of Little Red Riding Hood. We particularly enjoyed the parts where we could all join in. “Oh Grandma what big ears you have!” 

We have been working on our fundamental movement skills as a class with Coach Tom.

Being kind, sharing, playing more, having fun, laughing, smiley faces, stars and even…

We have been looking at solids, liquids and gases and their properties. We had lots of fun using the Easi-scopes to look at magnified particles in ‘solids that behave like liquids’. 

The sun has been shining all day today. Some of us enjoyed time on the lake again, this time building and testing rafts. We have also been mountain bike riding and had a fencing lesson. This afternoon some groups tackled the obstacle course, whilst others had to use their teamwork skills in a…
