Science
This half term, our science learning has focused on forces, gravity and friction. We carried out an exciting experiment to see how a car moved down a ramp from different heights. We tested a range of materials on the ramp and observed that the more Lego bricks needed to make the car move, the more friction there was between the material and the car.
English
We have thoroughly enjoyed exploring Greek mythology this half term, with a particular focus on King Midas and the Golden Touch. The children have been developing their storytelling skills by using speech effectively in their writing, bringing characters and dialogue to life in their myths.
Maths
We have been incredibly impressed by how quickly the children have grasped both the ladder and bus stop methods for multiplication and division. They have embraced the challenge with confidence and determination and should be very proud of the progress they have made.
Computing
In computing, we have been learning to code using Scratch. The children have had to think carefully about how to input precise instructions to achieve the desired results. They have enjoyed using their skills creatively to design and program mini stories using a variety of characters.
French
In French, we have begun learning vocabulary linked to activities and hobbies. The children have enjoyed practising this new language and are becoming increasingly confident when recalling and using the new words.
