We have been revising our knowledge of multiples of 10s - making them, comparing them, as well as adding and subtracting 10s from a multiple of 10. By using the Dienes, the children could clearly see that when adding and subtracting 10s, the tens digit changes, whereas the ones digit stays the same.

Our investigation this week was to explore whether children with the biggest hands also have the biggest feet! Working in small groups, the children accurately measured their hands and feet, carefully recorded their measurements and then analysed their results to answer the investigation question and to see if their prediction was correct. Generally, they found that those children with the biggest feet, also had the biggest hands!

Inspired by the charmingly illustrated "Flotsam" by David Wiesner, we discussed how we are all "stewards" of God's creations, which includes the ocean and all the living creatures which live there. Using imaginative description, the children created these wonderful poems which all finished with the line "Thank you God for such a beautiful ocean for us to explore".

Our three week investigation has provided us with some conclusive evidence that, just as we predicted, plants definitely do need sunlight, warmth and water to grow healthily and to stay alive! Over the last few weeks, the children enjoyed using their observation skills to draw and describe what was happening to the basil plants that we had placed in various locations. Thank you Mrs O'Keefe for looking after Plant E on your sunny window sill in the school office!

We have been practising our athletics skills and refining our techniques for sprinting, jumping and throwing. The children have shown excellent perseverance and resilience to improve their techniques and to challenge themselves in the different games that we have played. We are looking forward to putting these skills into action at our Sports Day next term!

Using natural objects as our inspiration, we looked at line drawings and how the artist had used shading to create depth. We also looked at sculptures created using different materials and the children then created their own clay model of an animal or something natural.

We have been discussing the different ways that seeds can be ?dispersed? such as by being blown away (dandelion seeds); eaten (by animals and then deposited on the ground); exploding open (violas); floating down a river (coconut seeds); falling to the ground (sycamore seeds); and sticking to animals (sandburs). Afterwards, we had fun creating our own sycamore seeds, which slowly floated down to the ground like twirling helicopters because of their wings, which spin and turn in the wind.

We have been investigating the conditions that plants need to grow healthily. Starting with a mature basil plant, we placed them in different locations to test which ones stayed healthy: Plant A - watered; Plant B - not watered; Plant C - sunlight; Plant D - dark cupboard; Plant E - warm windowsill; Plant F - fridge. Over the next few weeks we will observe, draw and describe how healthy the different plants are so we can test whether our predictions were correct .

As part of Holy Week, we visited St Thomas' Church to reflect on the events leading up to Jesus' death. The children took it in turns to read about each Station of the Cross and to say a prayer together. Back in the classroom, they created an image to remind them of Jesus' crucifixion and what message it teaches them today.

The children designed and created their own model vehicles. They measured the wood to create an axle and then used a saw to cut the wood. They thought about the features to add to the outside of the vehicle and the inside, including seats and a seatbelt. It was a really messy but fun day!!

We have been practising our measuring skills both inside and outside the classroom. Measuring with metre sticks proved to be more tricky than rulers and so we had to work together to carefully measure larger items around the playground and then order them from the shortest to longest lengths.

We have been enjoying learning about plants; comparing the germination of seeds and bulbs; and planting our own sunflower seeds. We discussed how, over the coming weeks, our seeds will need water (but not too much!), sunlight and the right temperature to grow into healthy plants.

Inspired by the Parable of the Talents, we put our talents to good use by painting Easter pebbles to sell at the whole school Talents Fair. We had a very busy stall to manage as we sold over 200 Easter pebbles, inscribed with messages of peace, love, joy and hope.
