Eisteddfod

Congratulations to Elodie and Tiffany on an amazing performance at the Eisteddfod Final on Thursday evening. The girls were amazing and show great courage and bravery to stand in front of a big audience to perform. 

Congratulations also to all the other children who participated! 

Our learning this week:

English

This week, the have been working hard analysing the vehicle text 'Seen and not Heard' as well as the WAGOLL Example text. We have discussed the vocabulary used and written those new phrases into sentence. We also competed a character description on Edmund Pickles, the young boy from the text. Next week we will be planning and writing our narrative about a mysterious character. 

Maths

This week we continued with perimeter of 2D shapes. We went outside to the playground to measure existing shapes on the playground and to draw our own using chalk. On Monday the children will be completing their end of unit check and then we will move on to our next topic - fractions. 

Computing

The children have learnt about the English composer Edward Elgar and his Enigma Variations. The children have been using their recorders to learn the notes A, B, C, D and E to compose their own variation based on Elgar's Variation 11. The will also next week introduce some untuned instruments to their piece.

PE

We have been fine tuning our dance for the Dance Extravaganza and worked hard on understanding beat, rhythm and timing to ensure we perform to the song. We have also begun Hockey, looking at dribbling and passing.

Science

This week we have look at contact and non-contact forces and that the size of a magnetic doesn't determine its strength. This could be due to how many smaller magnets are inside which will determine the strength and force. We conducted an experiment using different size magnets to attract a paper clip and measured the distance that it attracted it.
