This week we have loved reading deeper into our new novel, Toby and the Silver Blood Witches. It has been very mysterious and we're still not sure what is going to happen.

In maths we have finished our multiplication and division learning. We talked about our strategies for division and why we use certain methods. We had lots of good ideas and explanations on why we chose our methods. Next week we are introducing decimals and have set a fractions challenge to prepare for this learning on Sumdog.

In yoga we learned some paired yoga poses and worked hard on our team work. It was great fun!

In Geography we explored Antarctica in more detail and used a report to learn more and create our own fact files.

In French, we learnt how to say 6 ice cream flavours and give our opinion of them - either I love, I like, I don't like or I hate.... We looked at the phonic sounds in 'vanille' and 'menthe' and added actions to help us remember how to pronounce these words.

In Science, we recapped parts of the flower and their part in reporoduction. Then we moved on to investigate the need for light to see. A common misconception is that we can see in the dark once our eyes adjust but if there is complete darkness, we cannot see anything. The children made predictions then tested how easy it was to see various items in varying levels of light. They understood that darkness is the absence of light.

Next Tuesday is our sports  day. We are looking forward to it and have practised lots to make sure we are at our best on the day!

We no longer need shorts and t-shirts for swimming. Normal swimming kits from now on. 

Well done to you all on an amazing Tough Kidder. Keep an eye out for our galleries!
