Spring term
World Book Day- our book swap.
World Book day- paired reading with Year 5!
World Book Day 2024- our amazing costumes!
As part of world book day, we visited the local library!
Can you recognise which poo belongs to a carnivore, herbivore or omnivore? We had a fun, exploratory science lesson observing different types of pretend poo. We could spot which belonged to a monkey, elephant or tiger!
Our virtual visit with Jennifer- she spoke to us about what it means to be Jewish, what is inside her home and gave us a virtual tour of her synagogue.
R.E - Our special objects. How do they compare with Jewish special objects? We brought in different special objects from home and the children talked about why they were important to their families. We saw different soft toys, pictures, stories, eggs and even some Russian dolls! We then looked at different objects that might be found in a Jewish home.

Science- this term, we are learning about humans and their senses. Today we drew around a child and thought carefully about our body parts and which help us to sense different things.
Maths- this week, we have been enjoying learning about shape. Today, we explored 3d shapes. As we talked about their properties, we found different ways to sort them.
Computing- this term, we are learning to program robots! This week, we enjoyed programming the Blue-Bot and making predictions as to where they would end up. We loved sending the bluebot around the world map!
