I would like to start by saying a massivve congratulations to Lily, Daphne, Isabelle and Kate from our class who have had their poetry chosen to be published in The Big Green Poetry Machine competition! We are incredibly porud of all of you!
In maths, we have started looking at mass. We have been using the balance scales to see which items are heavier and lighter than each other. On Friday, we measured the mass of different objects using non-standard units of measure. We discovered how many cubes have the same mass as everyday objects.
On Tuesday we learnt about Shrove Tuesday and how different places celebrate this Christian festival. We then watched Mrs Parker try to toss the pancakes then tasted them. Some of us decided to have lemon juice on them and some of us decided to have them plain. They were delicious!
Snowdrops read a fantastic story called ‘ My Friend the Weather Monster’ in our outdoor learning session on Monday morning. We thought about the adjectives that described the sad, lonely weather monster (Ron) and brave Tom, the little boy who found a way to make him happy. These describing words helped us to work in teams to create some amazing collages using natural materials that we discovered in the woods. We had great fun catching the wind with our huge parachute and spotted some very interesting looking fungus!
Have a lovely weekend and I hope the sun keeps on shining!
