The children have revised their understanding of column addition this week by practicing outside using chalk.

In our science learning we have spent time investigating the three states of matter solid, liquid and gas. We performed lots of experiments and even learnt a song to help us remember!

We have been learning all about the Egyptians in History. Our favourite activity was completing our own mummification of a tomato. 

This week. the children learnt all about the features and courses of a river. They worked in groups, using resources such as egg cartons, yoghurt pots and paper to build their own river model! The children were then able to apply this knowledge in their learning to successfully label and describe each course of a river. 

On Monday 11th November, the children attended a clay workshop and learnt how to make their own canopic jars! We learnt that canopic jars are very special to the Egyptians because they hold the organs of a dead person to ensure they are protected for the after life. 

This week children in LKS2 have learnt how to express their feelings in French. We looked at the phrases for different feelings and then practiced how to ask our friends how they’re feeling. The children had to work really hard to use their tone of voice correctly to make themselves understood!

In music, the children developed a melody using tuned percussion instruments to perform alongside their rhythm to accompany the story. The children noted down their melody on paper using symbols, words or a combination of both. In their groups, the children performed their composition alongside the story. 

This term, the children in Willow class have had lots of fun in forest school. We spent lots of time working together to play games and even build our own volcanoes. In the last lesson, we even got to toast our own marshmallows!
