Term 1 Week 6 & 7

We’ve had a really busy end to our first term and the children are certainly ready for a well-deserved rest. The highlight was definitely our trip to Bristol and the children were great. They loved the trip on the Matthew and cruised up and down the harbour in beautiful sunshine. The M Shed was really interesting and they enjoyed seeing the statue of Edward Colston and learning about the Black Lives Matter protests.

As scientists, we explored light, reflection and mirrors. The children learned that light can change direction and bounces off flat, shiny surfaces at the same angle it hits the surface. They explored bouncing light to hit a target.

As writers, we completed a narrative where we wrote as a character from our book, ‘The Queen’s Fool’. We described Hampton Court Palace from the outside and inside using noun phrases and all the senses.  Later, we edited and published with our best handwriting.
