Last week in Science we were thinking about sound and hearing. We looked at Caitlin's model ear and thought about how the ear works. We the wrote an explanation of how we hear with Mrs Shore on Friday. We did really well and remembered a lot of information.

We got out the equipment in gymnastics this week and had a really good session. We were focussing on using the equipment safely and we all made sure we were very sensible.

More shadows!


In science this week we had an exploration session with shadows. We all made a shape and then investigated if we could make a shadow on the board when the light was off. Nobody's shape made a shadow! Then we turned the light on and experimented with moving our shapes closer to and further away from the light.



In literacy we have been continuing to follow and give instructions verbally.
Our numeracy unit is data handling and measures. On Wednesday we made a pictogram of our favourite colours so that Heather would know what colour to paint some of the doors around the school!

Snow and shadows!

As you all know year 2 had their 'shadow puppet'workshop on Tuesday. Lots of photos were taken but unfortunately the year 2 camera has gone missing. As soon as it turns up there will be photos of the day on the blog.
All of us made a moveable shadow puppet, as well as having a go with our 'experts' puppets. It was a very fun, busy day! Thank you to all of the parents who helped us have a fantastic day!

Just a quick note about weather and suitable clothing. Please make sure that the children have a pair of wellies in school as well as a warm coat, hat and gloves.

Thank you!
