Our learning this week -  Summer Term

Remember, it's our Kew Gardens trip on Wednesday, so ensure children have a packed lunch, water bottle, snacks and a light coat. We'll be walking a lot, so please make sure your child doesn't have a large heavy bag. If it's sunny, please remember sunscreen and hat.  

English

We have been reading the book The Rhythm of the Rain and immersing ourselves in its words, pictures and meanings. In particular, we've been focusing on setting descriptions and the children have had the opportunity to write about what they might see, hear and feel at the various setting points. 

Maths

We are focusing on our next Fractions block, learning about how to add and subtract fractions and how to find a fraction of a group of objects. 

Science

On Friday, we experimented with chocolate! The children had to hold a chocolate button in their hand while I read out a poem about chocolate by Michael Rosen. We then discussed what had happened to the semi-melted button and how their 'state of matter' had changed from being a solid to a liquid. We also set up an experiment to test the melting point of ice, butter and chocolate. 

Our PE days are Tue and Thu. 

Our value this term is service.
