Owls Class have started their "mass and capacity" unit in maths this week. They started by exploring the weights in class from 1gram through to 1kg. Children felt the weights in their hands, balanced scales with classroom items and practised using analogue weighing scales of differing types. 
 

This week in Swans we have been exploring strength. In Science this half term, children have been exploring different materials, identifying materials that items are made from and naming different properties of objects in the classroom. Today we wanted pupils to investigate strength by making paper bridges. In partners pupils had to fold the paper in different ways to try and improve the strength of their bridges. An excellent scientific investigation!

Owls Class started their cooking unit today with peeling and cutting.

Swans have been busy over the last few weeks creating their 'Paper Play' art project based on the ‘Maman’ spider sculpture (1999) by the artist Louise Bourgeois. Mr Robson started the project

and worked with the children to create the structure. The children then worked in small groups to paint and decorate their class sculpture which is now sitting proudly in our classroom.
