We thoroughly enjoyed Maths Week. Take a look at what we got up to.

Outdoor Maths

• Maths Bingo
• Count the catches. We counted in multiples of 2,3,4,5 and 10 from various starting numbers

World Around Us - The Body

We have been learning about the importance of keeping our lungs healthy. We made posters on the Comic Life app. 

World Around Us - The Body

We constructed model lungs to learn about the respiratory system and how the lungs function. 

Literacy - The Worst Witch

Welcome to potion class!

We are really enjoying reading The Worst Witch as our class novel. We had our very own potion class! We enjoyed learning about chemical reactions and developing our scientific vocabulary. 

World Around Us - Egg challenge

For this task we had to work in groups to create a design that protects an egg when dropped! We had to test and experiment with different materials before we selected the most appropriate materials that stopped our egg from breaking when it hit the ground.

As you can see, we were very happy with the results!

Outdoor Learning - The World Around Us

Our first topic is 'My Body'. We have been learning all about the function of the skeleton and naming the bones. Check out the photos of us putting the skeleton together and labelling the bones.

We have also been learning about the organs of the body. We enjoyed putting them in the correct place and labelling them. 

Outdoor Numeracy

We love getting outdoors! Check out the photos from our outdoor place value lesson. We ordered numbers, solved place value riddles, completed a multiples of 10 relay race and used natural materials to represent numbers.
