In maths we are looking at measurement this term. We have started off looking at metres (M), centimetres (cm) and millimetres (mm). We have used a ruler to measure lines and also measured the heights of our partners with two metre sticks. It was great fun to find out who was the tallest and who was the shortest in the class.

In Science, we have started learning about magnets. We have learnt that they have two poles, North and South! We know that a lot of everyday life objects use magnets. We investigated which two poles would attract or repel each other. Next week, we are testing the strength of the different kinds of magnets we have in school using paperclips.

In English we have looked at a new text called GRRR! By Rob Biddulph and formulated some fantastic sentences starting with fronted adverbials. These are becoming second nature now and the children are doing it without thinking! We have also watched a film this week called ‘Taking Flight’ which the children loved and they wrote some superb diary entries as some of the characters. These photos are of us peer marking our friends work ensuring their writing had the features of a diary.
