This section of the page will be updated by our class bloggers each week to keep you updated with our progress.
This is an example of what pupils in my class can do independently.
This week the Otters class has been working on a project which involves our new topic,minibeasts.We have been involved in creating our own minibeast of our creation we have also been up our local park hunting for minibeasts in two categories:vertabrates and invertabrates! Despite our hard work,on Wednesday we went up maerdy swimming pool for our lesson, it was incredibly fun. The past three days have been quite tough because we had our tests for the year: reading,reasoning and procedural. As a result of the test on Thursday afternoon we watched an enjoyable film for year 1 to year 6 which was Toy Story 3, to celebrate the completion of our tests. We watched the rest of the film this morning it was fabulous! During playtime we sold some delicious treats to raise money for our London trip. This morning we had our celebration assembly and for the first time this year we won the schools attendance cup which was truly exciting!

Do you think you could blog as well as this?

WW1

Picture

This project has a history focus and teaches children about the life and times of the countries and people in the period of 1914 - 1918. At the heart of the project, pupils will learn how to write in a variety of genres, in addition to developing additional understanding and awareness of many aspects of WW1 life.
I would like pupils to continue to apply themselves to the tasks given so they can improve many aspects of the work.

May the Force be With You!

Our topic this term brings together the History topic of WW1 with the science unit of Forces.
This project has a science focus which teaches our pupils about the knowledge of a number of forces, their impact on stationary and moving objects and their effects through different media. Pupils will develop chronological accounts of their investigations and furthermore,  develop additional skills in note making, scientific and technical language and recording and explanation skills.
In this project the children will learn:
• About the characteristics of forces
• How to collect and present scientific and mathematical data using ICT and multimedia;
• How to use and apply scientific knowledge to design vehicle spoiler based on what has been learnt about
  forces and materials;
Try these sites!

These phrases are what we'll be learning in the next few weeks. I'm sure you have covered these in previous years:
