This week we began work on our Space topic. As part of this topic we visited Winchester Science Museum where children experienced a space workshop and planetarium show. They all had a fantastic time learning lots of new facts about space and even had time to explore the range of science activities on offer at the museum.<\/p>\n
In maths this week children have continued their work on fractions with a focus on adding and subtracting and exploring improper fractions and mixed numbers. Next week we will be finding fractions of different amounts. Please check out the pre-teach video on the maths blog over the weekend as it will help prepare children for Monday’s lesson.<\/p>\n
In English we have started our new topic on persuasive writing. Children will be writing persuasive leaflets convincing Tim Peake to visit Pandora.<\/p>\n
All children should be well underway with their spring reading passport. Those who complete the challenge will be entered into a draw where two pupils from each class will be chosen to enjoy an afternoon at Rock Up in Whitley.<\/p>\n
Poetry booklets have also gone home this week. Please help your child chose a poem to learn off by heart.<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend<\/p>\n
