This week, in Art, we have practicing our art skills using cocktail sticks to create brightly coloured spike patterns for our hedgehogs.

Prefix or Suffix?
In our grammar lesson this afternoon, we looked at what prefixes and suffixes are and what they do to a root word. We found out that a prefix goes at the start of a word and a suffix is added at the end of the word. We played the prefix pair game, where we matched up the correct prefix to the root word. We had lots of fun and was then able to apply this to our independent learning task.
Technology Safari 👀🔎🖥
In our computing lesson today, we went on a technology safari. The aim of this lesson was to be able recognise technology. We walked around the school looking for things that contained a battery, screen and wires. We managed to spot lots of different examples (especially in the staff room) such as computers, a printer and a microwave.
Budding Georges Seurat artists!
We have learnt about Georges Seurat this week and how he painted his artwork using pointillism. We then practised this on our own lizard.
Cheerleading club
We are all so excited that we have not got a cheerleading club running at lunchtimes. We cannot wait to see your routines!
PP3 – the surge of water 💧
In writing today, we wrote PP3 which was all about the surge of water breaking through the ice dam. We picked up the pace needed in this writing lesson and used shorter sentences for the effect. We used lots of features such as expanded noun phrases, fronted adverbials and even managed to use a simile! 😀 What a fantastic writing lesson! We can’t wait to write PP4 on Monday!
Casualty rescue…
Thankfully we were saved from the rain yesterday and had our Scotties session in the hall. This allowed children to practice their casualty rescue. Children were split into the lift crew and of course the rest had to be an injured patient. They took it in turns and learned the importance of being a team. This was put to the test when Mick was the patient however they were successful because they worked together.
What is a network?
Today we have been learning about what a network is in relation to computing. We learned about our home and school network as well as the network that keeps the world connected. We even started learning the network rap.
Front adverbials…
Today, we have continued to work on how to use fronted adverbials. We worked together to identify the different types of fronted adverbials.
Fractions with bagels…
In maths, we used bagels to help us understand how to partition a mixed number. Some of us found this quite difficult but after Miss Shields demonstrate we feel a bit more confident with it. We’ll do some more fluency style questions tomorrow to ensure we can apply this knowledge.
