In mathematics, the children consolidated their understanding of mass by practising their calculation skills to solve word problems. We have all been so impressed with how the children can choose the correct operation to solve a problem choosing the most efficient method. They then moved onto volume and capacity, comparing the two concepts, and learning how to measure volume in millilitres.
In science, the children have been studying animals and their offspring. They matched different animals to their young and then sharpened their scientific research skills in the computing lesson by searching the internet to name the animals’ young. Children learned that some animals are born live and some hatch from eggs.
Excitement is building for the House Poetry Competition, taking place next week. We look forward to hearing the finalists’ poetry recitals on Tuesday and wish them all the best with their performances.
