As it’s half term next week there is no formal homework, however, I would still like you to read for 15 minutes each day; if you have a Nessy Account please continue with your daily 20 minutes.

You have all worked really hard this half term and I have enjoyed working with you all. Next term we will start looking at light in science and Greece is our geography and history focus. Get ready for lots more investigations!
​

The children enjoyed our Iron Age feast so much that they have taken the recipes home to share with their families, happy cooking!

We caught the last warm, sunny day of the week and headed off to our forest school for some outdoor learning. 

The children learnt about animals and vegetation that were around during the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods.  We made a stone age stew which looked rather unappealing however it smelt good and, to the surprise of some, was rather tasty.
​

On Monday, in science we learnt about the three different rock types: sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic.  We used starburst to understand how the different rocks are formed.

With lots of starbursts left over, the children took some home to demonstrate the investigation to their families. Thank you for the photos and well done for remembering what we did in class and sharing your knowledge.
