As Mathematicians we are learning to represent numbers in a wide variety of ways. We can talk about, compare, order and reason about number problems because we have a great understanding of place value. We ❤️maths.
Gymnastics
We have loved collaborating with our friends to create sequences of movement that challenge our skills and increase our body strength. We’ve enjoyed performing to each other, giving constructive feedback and having lots of giggles along the way.
Rugby
The super Richard Squires from Hull FC has been coaching us (and our teachers) over the last few weeks. We have made massive progress from learning how to hold and pass the ball in week one to playing a game of tag rugby today! We can not wait for next week to have an In-house tournament of 3Y v’s 3H! AND and interschool tournament next Tuesday! Whoop!
This week in year 5/6, we have been looking at the chemical reaction that occurs when bicarbonate of soda reacts with vinegar. The children used their prior knowledge of this reaction to create an investigation to inflate a balloon using carbon dioxide. They loved seeing the balloon inflate as the chemical reaction took place! They were able to explain that the reaction between bicarbonate of soda and vinegar resulted in a new substance(carbon dioxide) being formed.
Year 3 enjoyed the STEM activities. We had to try and build a chocolate factory using spaghetti and marshmallows.
We designed our structures first and then build them. We had to figure out how to make a strong structure and how best to fix it together. 
Some of us managed to build some pretty tall buildings!
This week Year 2 have been investigating what happens to our heart when we exercise. We did a variety of different exercises and the monitored what happened to our heart rate.
We found out that our heart beat gets faster when we exercise.
Year 2 are learning about sense poetry. First we learned a poem using signifiers.
Then we looked at the features of a sense poem.
On Thursday we used our senses to describe popcorn and then wrote our own poems!
Next week we will be performing our poems!
Today was our first reading club in Year 2. We had lots of fun playing on Teach Your Monster to Read. We can’t wait for next Friday lunchtime!
Miss Stainton’s class were presented with the task of planning a luxury holiday for a family of 4 to Mexico for one week and loved using their team work to plan their finances!
They had to choose which hotel to stay in, which food and drink package to purchase, what day trips to pay for, along with lots of other important holiday fun to organise!
Fantastic team work and maths skills were demonstrated by all, if only we could actually experience our holidays in reality!
