In maths last week, we had a practical lesson where we were able to use the clocks to start discussing how to tell time. It was modelled each of the times and then we had an opportunity to apply this with our own clocks.

Worded problems
In Arithmetic last week, we went through how to answer a range of worded problems. We discussed the key words and which operation we’d need to do to answer the question.
Handwriting
Over the last few weeks we’ve been working in small groups so we can practice and start refining out handwriting. Some of us are focusing on ensuring we’re starting on the line and making small tweaks to improve our handwriting whereas others are going back to ensuring we are forming our letters accurately and using the correct joins.
Do all liquids evaporate at the same rate?
Last week it was time to conduct our next experiment which allowed us to discover whether all liquids evaporate at the same rate.
Before starting the experiment, we made a prediction about whether we though they would or not. It was great seeing children making reference to the viscosity and how this would impact the rate it evaporates.
Once we made out predictions, we set up the experiment and observed the changes over the next few days.
Throwing the chapatti
Today in our experience lesson, we each took it in turns to throw the chapatti as far as we could. We then ran and put our bean bag down as a marker to see who through the chapatti furthest like a frisbee.

Read the following for your HAF code when applying:
Families that are eligible for free school meals in Doncaster were sent a letter on 31st May to their home address from the benefits team, this letter has information about the HAF and a unique code for each child in the household. When it comes to book, if they have misplaced or forgot the code they can contact the benefits or HAF team ([email protected]) and a code will be sent to them.
Book Talk
In our reading lessons last week, we focused heavily on vocabulary and understanding this in context. This is a skill we’ve been working hard on throughout the year as we come across words we’re unfamiliar with in the text. This allows children to fully comprehend the text when we’re reading.
Computing – animation
After returning from half term, we had an opportunity to work more independently on the skills we practiced before half term. Before half term, we were asked to create an animation however, this was something we’d very little experience with it so depended on the expert.
In this session, children were able to complete the task with minimal support showing they had learned how to successfully put the blocks together to create an animation.
Art in MI
Some of us started working with water colours this afternoon in our art session. We used water colours to paint our own bees 🙂 We were all super focussed and loved doing this after a morning of assessments.
The other half of MI worked independently on some sketching. Children used a step by step clip to create their own drawing of a bee. There were some great first drafts 🙂 We can’t wait for our final versions!
Crew Challenge
Today we had our smelly socks our in our crew challenge! Our challenge was to create a ‘Leaning Tower of Feetza’. It was such a pleasure to see the children collaborating independently and being resilient when our towers tumbled!
