On Science Day at the beginning of the half term the children took part in many activities.  They loved having their parents in school in the morning.  Later on in the day the children took part in an experiment to find out if larger hands can pick up the most pasta and which method was best.  They also planted bulbs and are continuing to water them and watch them grow!

Miss Holmes organised a whole school Internet Safety Day.  The children took part in an assembly and also learnt a song about how to keep safe on the internet.

Our History topic for the half term was Florence Nightingale.  The children learnt that she went to the Crimean War and she worked at night with her lamp and became knows to the soldiers as ‘The Lady with the Lamp’.   They learnt about another nurse who went to help the soldiers called Mary Seacole.  The children then had to decide which nurse deserved the medal that we designed and made using clay.  

In English the children used the story ‘Flat Stanley’ and wrote a character description describing his appearance and personality.  The following week the children wrote a character description about their favourite book character.

In Maths the children continued to learn about multiplication.  They also enjoyed learning about fractions and 2D and 3D shapes.

Jupiter Class shared their learning with their parents at the end of the half term during their class assembly.  They spoke very loudly and clearly, and acted so well.  Everyone was very proud of them.
