Because the weather is so warm, we completed our PE lesson inside today where we took part in some yoga! We loved this! 🙂

Symmetrical patterns in MT
Today we used our knowledge from yesterday on lines of symmetry to complete a range of symmetrical patterns. We did find this challenging, however we showed great resilience and supported each other throughout our lesson. We will continue to practise this skill tomorrow.
Writing in MT
We are currently writing two independent plot points to apply what we have been taught. We are doing a great job 🙂
Consolidating our methods in MT
Amazing work in arithmetic this afternoon 🙂
Chapter one celebrations in MT
A massive well done to all the children who took part in Chapter one! You have showed so much progress with your reading this year. We all celebrated them today where they spoke with their volunteers on line and received their certificates. We all loved listening to and performing the poem at the end! Thank you to the chapter one representative, Lauren, she has been an amazing support this year 🙂
Symmetry in MT
Today we explored different lines of symmetry using the terms vertical, horizontal and diagonal. We looked at a variety of images and thought about whether each was a reflection. We thought about how we can use a mirror to check for lines of symmetry and we explored different shapes to find lines of symmetry.
Handwriting practise in MT
MT busy working on their letter formation 🙂
Beautiful work celebrations
Some great work this week everyone 🙂
What happens to chalk when it is exposed to different types of weathering?
Today we carried out an experiment to investigate what happens to chalk when it is exposed to different types of weathering. This investigated represented the three different types of weathering: biological, chemical and physical. We set up our experiment by pouring water (physical weathering) into a cup and vinegar (chemical weathering) into the other. We put the chalk into the cups and set a timer for 5 minutes. We observed what happened to the chalk during the 5 minutes. We then used a piece of sandpaper to lightly rub the piece of chalk for 30 seconds. We concluded that the chalk in the vinegar changed the most because after the 5 minutes in the vinegar it had holes and slight cracks in it. The chalk in the water didn’t have any changes after the 5 minutes.
Investigating rocks
Today we carried out three different experiments to test the hardness, permeability and buoyancy of different types of rocks. First, we completed a prediction on whether we thought the rocks would be hard or soft, permeable or impermeable, or sink or float. We used a range of equipment to test a variety of rocks including chalk, sandstone, granite, basalt, slate and marble. We found that chalk is soft, sandstone is permeable and marble is not permeable. After carrying out the experiments, we checked our results against our predictions to see if we got any right.
