Good afternoon parents,Welcome to week 10 (yep, already!!).

In maths we are exploring chance as we examine what this is and what it means. Tomorrow we will be building our devices to slow the melting of an iceblock, so if your child hasn't brought in materials to do this, please assist them to remember their equipment for tomorrow. Homework   Homework this week will include spelling and reading as normal.  Our maths however, will involve practicing the 2, 3 and 4 times tables.

Good afternoon and welcome to week 5 This week we will continue to work on persuasive writing, having written our first one for the year based on one that we shared.  Tomorrow we will start a new persuasive text on a topic we choose and showing what we have learned this terms. In science we learned about the tree ways that heat moves and attempted an experiment with tea bags to show convection.  Unfortunately the experiment didn't work as planned, but we watched the following video that showed the experiment and will try again tomorrow.  This may be one to try at home under strict adult supervision.
