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.
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.
We have camps being held at school in the summer holidays

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.
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.
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.
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!
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!

Crew Hamill have worked extremely hard over the last two weeks to improve their handwriting. On Friday, we stripped things right back to focusing on each letter of the alphabet and how to write this cursively. We then worked through handwriting sheets that had been made on the yellow lines we use to support our writing in writing lessons. Miss Hamill also gave us a set of these sheets to take home for homework so that we have even more practise of cursive!
Following our success with reading time on an analogue clock, Crew Hamill moved on to look at digital clocks. We discussed how we could find these in lots of places – on some watches, our phones, microwaves, ovens… We then looked at how to read a digital clock properly and what each of the digits means. Following this, we used our new knowledge to correctly match analogue clocks to digital clocks as well as the time in words.
