A big well done to Ella and Jacob for achieving their 250 reads - Super reading!
This afternoon, we compared boat shapes and how many pennies these would hold with different materials. This is in preparation for designing our own boats.
Experiment looking at evaporation as part of learning about the water cycle

Well done to our readers this week: Poppy - 100 reads, Liam & Lola - 150 reads and Teigan - 200 reads! Keep on reading.
Today in Maths, we started to learn about direction. The children enjoyed doing this activity outside in the sunshine for part of the lesson and used collaboration to help instruct each other which direction to turn. They had to tell each other to turn either a quarter, a half turn or three-quarter turn and then whether they had to turn in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction. Hopefully they all know their North, South, East and West now and have a fun exercise for homework to complete today.
Eoin's camp-out to fund raise
We are all very proud of Eoin who camped out in a tent in his garden for a whole month to raise money for Huntington's Disease. Today Eoin brought in a trophy that his Aunty gave him as a reward. Well done Eoin - what an amazing achievement!

This term we are exploring Collaboration. For our 1st task the class separated into 4 groups. Each group had a 1/4 of a painting, primary colour paints including black and white and a certain number of cotton buds. Their aim was to work collaboratively in their group to produce each section of the final piece. This was a very interesting challenge!
Our finished collaborative painting!
Yesterday in Science, we began investigating how water travels up the stem of a plant. Today, we looked at the results of our experiment.
Congratulations to the children who were awarded this week's Reading and Times Tables certificates.
