Class 13 – Electricity 💡

In our first case study, we have been investigating different materials. We have been learning about conductors and insulators and seeing which materials allow electricity to flow through them. We established that items that were made out of metal were really good conductors and other items such as wood, plastic and glass were really good insulators.

Year 3/4 Extended Study

Please find the extended study attached the menu for Year 3/4 (previously homework menu).

We are looking forward to seeing all of your hard work! As always, if there is something you want to do that isn’t on the menu please do it anyway! We would love to see!

Don’t forget – keep taking your books home and reading to improve your AR data, and keep practising those times tables!

Class 13 – New Expedition 💡🔋

Today we have been looking at our new expedition, ’The Power of Life: What fuels us?’, but more specifically Physics, which is our first case study. We looked at some of the everyday items that are powered using electricity as well as looking at the ways in which electricity is generated. We then created a poster to show some of the ways we can make ourselves more sustainable.

Y3/4 Christmas Costumes

Thank you to those that have fetched their costumes in to school so we can start to get prepared. If you haven’t already, please can you think about sending your child’s costume in this week so we can practise dress rehearsals etc.

Don’t forget that there is a limited amount of costumes in school that we can use so please speak to teacher’s if needed.

We are looking forward to sharing our Christmas production with you on Tuesday 13th December!

Thanks
