Week 5 (03/10/2016)

This week started off with a bang, as we played host to Spangles the Clown and the circus tent from ‘Leon and The Place Between’ mysteriously appeared on the school field! Learning circus tricks with Steve on Monday was so much fun, and we were able to perform a circus show to the school in the afternoon.

On Tuesday, we spent the day in the tent, listening to a bit more of ‘Leon and The Place Between’ and imagining what ‘The Place Between’ might look like.  We drew it, then described, then created a ‘fishbone’ plan.

The rest of the week we have spent creating a stunning piece of writing to explain ‘what’s behind the door’!  We made sure we included adjectives, adverbs, powerful verbs, and even prepositional openers to explain where the objects were in relation to each other. Mrs. Barlow was SO impressed!

On Thursday, we invited another guest into school to help us with our Science learning this time.  Dr Preece, a parent and engineer, taught us all about how space rockets work and then we carried out a parachute investigation with egg-stronauts!

A busy, busy week with lots of writing this week, means next week is all about Maths! We can’t wait!

We have also been really enjoying seeing all the fantastic home learning projects that the class have been doing and Mrs. Barlow is really impressed with the high quality learning and presentation!  Thank you parents for all your wonderful learning support!
