We have been working with clay this month. We started out by practising with play-doh. It was hard work making our love hearts, names and 3D shapes!

We have also been looking at capacity in Maths and we had an experiment table in the classroom. We had to find out how much liquid a variety of ‘mystery objects’ held. The children made lots of predictions and learned a lot during this task.

We carried out a debate titled: School uniforms, a good idea or a nuisance? The children worked in debating teams to prepare their arguments.

The children argued the case on both sides.

Unfortunately, the team arguing FOR school uniforms won!

We are working on non-fiction booklets at the moment. We’ll keep you posted as to how we’re getting on!

We made some constructions today using paper. The aim was to make our constructions solid so that they could be made taller. We were not allowed to use any glue or sellotape, and had to really think about how to fold the paper.

Aidan and his team worked really hard and won the competition! Well done boys!

After we made our constructions, we used a metre stick to measure them. The tallest was over a metre and a half (150cm / 1.5m) tall!

We had great fun carrying out this task!
