Week 3

In our Science Week we have been learning about the force of wind. We know that wind is moving air. We used a fan inside to feel moving air. We predicted which objects the fan would move and carried out a test. We then went outside to try and get the kite to fly, make our own kites and paper aeroplanes! Lots of fun!

Week 1

Mrs McCormick took some unwanted items to Barnado's in half term and she asked the children had they ever heard of this shop. The children then went on to learn about charity shops and how Barnado's started. We went back to the Victorian times to learn about the work of Dr Barnado and then decided as a class to write letters asking if we could donate something to the charity to help children.

During our Jigsaw lesson Mrs McCormick gave us a challenge. Can we work as a team to

produce a garden for our dream birds? Some of us found this tricky as we didn't want to compromise on our ideas! Here they are!

Spring 1 Week 4

We have been learning about weaving. First, we made a loom frame with sticks, elastic bands and string. This was quite tricky as the frame kept moving and we had to learn to tie a knot. The we went outside to cut natural things and weaved them in the loom frame using and under technique.
