This half term Willows have been exploring the book George’s Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl. They have written a character description about Grandma, created their own rhyming poem, written instructions for how to make a medicine and produced a persuasive advert to sell it!

In maths they have worked really hard on mastering the column method for addition and subtraction with up to 4 digits. They have also looked at classifying quadrilaterals and triangles as well as measuring perimeter and area and exploring lines of symmetry.

Willows had their very first meeting with the school dog, Lenny. They loved it and he was so well behaved for us. A very good boy Lenny!

 

In DT, to link with their Ancient Egyptian History, they produced some fantastic pyramid structures. The children planned, made and evaluated their designs.

 

The children were very lucky to spend an afternoon on a Bug Safari! They had to hunt for all sorts of creepy crawlies that may be living within the school grounds. The children had an excellent time.

Our Science focus has been electricity, with the children learning ways in which our energy is generated to how to stay safe around electricity.

Whilst learning about electrical circuits the children set up their own in order to create a light up Christmas card!

I am really impressed with the level of hard work and commitment that the children have put into their work this half term. I can already see that they are maturing and becoming much more responsible for their own learning!
