It is already February and it has started to feel a little bit more like Spring! Hopefully the sun is here to stay!
This week in Science we have been learning about forces and magnets. We have been exploring different surfaces and which ones required the most force (Newtons) to pull a wooden block across. We found that the carpet in the cloakroom required the most force. Some of us predicted this at first because the surface feels bumpy.
In Literacy, we have been busy writing a short story inspired by the book Black Dog by Levi Pinfold. We have been using fronted adverbials, expanded noun phrases and direct speech to make our writing super! Our home learning this week is all about using speech marks to help us show when someone is speaking in our writing.
Today was the NSPCC’s number day! We had lots of fun finding out about some famous mathematicians and explored all the different ways we use maths and numbers! We went into the garden and found some different problem solving challenges, here is one below we had a look at today, can you work out how many squares there are in total?
I hope you have a lovely weekend, see you all on Monday! Miss Mansell
