This morning, in our reading lesson we explored the new vocabulary in this week’s text. Using dictionaries we found the definitions of new words and used the skill of reading the word in context to explore others. Finally, we completed some find and copy questions which further extended our knowledge of vocabulary. Well done everyone – great work.

Well done everyone on a fantastic English lesson today. You analysed the model text so well and confidently identified the criteria for writing a good science report, considering layout, vocabulary,, sentence types, punctuation and grammatical features. I am so proud of you all for your hard work.

This morning, we began our case study on forces. First, we built up our background knowledge on forces and gravity using videos, discussion and reading facts around the room. Then we explored what happens when we drop two identical bottles containing different amounts of water. The children were surprised to discover that they hit the ground at the same time – despite many attempts to prove the theory wrong!

Well done everyone – you all worked so hard in our double expedition lesson today! #Ogdentrust

This morning, in our reading lesson we used the thesaurus to find synonyms for given words. Everyone worked hard to understand the meaning of the vocabulary in our story and could explain the definitions.
