In ICT we have been looking at databases. We learnt what a database was and that one example was a spreadsheet. We answered questions from a database and added to it with our own information. 

Today we had an experience day to introduce us to our new book The Journey by Aaron Becker. In the story a little girl goes on a magical journey through a land which she enters into using her imagination and a crayon. 

We set off on our own "Imagination Journies" through the school. We took a…

Today we had an afternoon of working scientifically. We had to take systematic and accurate measurements of how far we jumped, record these and present in a bar chart. We then used this information to draw conclusions and ask questions. 

In maths today we worked in partners to looked at some worked examples. These are when someone has answered the question for us and we have to decide if they are right or wrong, explaining why. It helps us a lot with our reasoning skills as well as justifying too. We had some good discussion with…

We have loved seeing evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection take place in our mini water cycles! 

Our mini water cycles are up and ready to demonstrate the stages of the water cycle. We can't wait to see evaporation, condensation and precipitation happening before our eyes! 

We had lots of fun exploring and investigating how states of matter change as well as at what temperatures this may occur. We were focusing on making scientific predictions. To do this we spent time looking at the temperature of other things to help us understand the types of temperatures we were…

We had so much fun investigating how states of matter change. We were focusing on making scientfic predictions.

We explored different temperatures which helped us make more accurate predictions of the temperature of boiling and freezing water and melting and freezing chocolate. 

After we had…

Today we had a tricky lesson or learning how to draw in perspective, making things look like they are going into the distance. We did a super job. 

After we'd had some practice, we draw a sketch of a river going into the distance. We used a quadrant to help us and shading to make it…

We have been learning how to divide whole numbers by 10 and 100 this week and are very confident now! Today we combined our understand with measures too. We had to measure different parts of the body and then divide those answers by 10 and 100. 

We had so much fun exploring solids, liquids and gases in science today! We asked lots of questions and investigated as we explored, it helped us to understand the different properties of these matters. We learnt all about their properties while look at their similarities and differences. We had…

We had so much fun exploring place value today; identifying the value of digits, creating numbers, comparing and ordering numbers!
