English

This week in English the children have been working really hard to finish their plans ready to write their own version of George and the Dragon. The children have been using some fantastic language to describe their dragons and the cute animals which it is scared of!

 

Maths

In Mrs Ellis' maths we have continued to look at fractions. We have been thinking about quarters which we know are whole objects or groups or objects which are split into 4 equal parts.

Science

In science this week we have been learning about different states of matter. We discussed how these are different and which group everyday things belong to. For example water is a liquid, air is a gas and wood is a solid. We carried out some simple experiments to see what happens when you mix some solids and liquids together.
