WIZARD

Congratulations to our first female MATHS WIZARD since 2012. This is our second WIZARD of the year, and I am excited to see who is next. Come on kids - keep practicing those basic facts.

Calendar art

We have been working really hard on our calendar art this week. We have been exploring shading, mixing colours and using a stained glass window effect. We are really pleased with the effects. Not everyone is finished yet, so we will keep adding pictures to the blog as we complete our work. Order forms will be coming out soon - they make great presents for Christmas.

Maths is fun!

We have been having lots of fun in our maths group this term. We have been exploring 2D and 3D shapes, looking at properties, shapes in the world around us, tessellations, tangrams, symmetry, co-ordinates and enlargements. Take a look at some of our great work.

Learning to be a scientist

We have been having lots of fun learning about the processes a scientist goes through to explore the world around them. We have learnt some new words, like apparatus, aim, hypothesis and variables - come and ask us what they mean.
We tested balloons to see which material causes most static when rubbed against it. The results were 'hair-raising!'.
Next we explored which liquids are most viscous (thick) by timing how long it takes an object to sink to the bottom of a test tube. The honey took a long time - we left it over night to see if it would reach the bottom. Ask us what we found out.
