It is our Magic Science Week next week and we are really
grateful for all the donations of plastic bottles and glass jars! We are
looking forward to having lots of fun while learning some new science skills
and concepts.

Literacy
Linking to our history topic we are now learning about William Shakespeare. Each class has studied the beginning of ‘The Tempest’ and used
pictures to create vivid descriptions of the storm conjured by Prospero. We thought back to our work in September on
adjectives, similes and metaphors to write sentences and paragraphs of description
that used all of the senses.

Mathematics
In Mrs Prowle’s group, we have been continuing to practise our
division skills. Some of us are starting to use larger numbers and finding
answers with remainders.
In Mrs Williams and Mrs Gilder’s group we have been learning about fractions. We did some outdoor fractions which we are all keen to try at home.
In Mrs Roche’s group we have been working on multiplication.
Lime class looked at how much sugar is in drinks. We then put hard-boiled eggs into different drinks and left them for a week.
Science
Maple Class made different string telephones this week using
their investigative skills to work out how to make the best phone. Some of us
tested different cups while others looked at the difference the type or length
of string made to the sound quality. We had lots of fun making the phones and
were really surprised by how well they worked!

History Projects
We are all working hard on our projects in between rehearsals
for The Emerald Crown. There is some fantastic research going on and the
teachers can’t wait to read them and, hopefully, learn something new
themselves!
