This week, the children have been working on their creative side. We have been making and drawing lots of different things linked to our new expedition. Take a look at some of the things we have been getting up to!
Polar Bear Faces
Polar Bear Hand Prints

This week we have focused on our case study one, science. This has involved: knowledge of solids, liquids and gases; exploring reversible and irreversible changes; and exploring how this links with our expedition by understanding how a steam train works.
Today we worked scientifically by carrying out an experiment to find out which solutes were soluble and insoluble. We can’t wait to do further experiments tomorrow!
Class 6 would like to ask for your help in gathering small, medium or large plastic milk bottles with a handle like the one in the picture below. If you have an empty one you would like to donate for us to use in our hook week craft, please send it into school before Friday.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Miss Rodgers and the children in class 6 x
We have had a fantastic day today in class 6 learning many more fabulous facts about the amazing continent of Africa. Mr Kershaw joined us to help us begin a KWL chart to record what we already know about our continent and what we would like to find out. We discussed the similarities and differences between some of the countries in Africa and our own, before using IPads to watch a video, noting down the things we will share with our phase at a special presentation of learning on Friday.
Why not ask your child to tell you what they have learned?
We have kick started our science case study so far this week and today completed our first science experiment and wrote up the investigation! We investigated different solids and how they dissolved in liquid to make soluble solutions.
For the first couple of days back, Class 10 have been researching their knowledge of polar bears by working collaboratively on building up their knowledge of these incredible creatures.
Class 10 then got their craft on and started making their very own polar bear decorations. These looked really great and will immerse our classroom!
No children were harmed in this polar bear encounter!
On our second day of Hook Week, we have continued to be creative and make decorations that we can then use for our room. We’ve made some really lovely polar bear hand prints.
This week we are immersing ourselves into a polar bears environment and working really hard to use lots of different skills and materials. Today we are writing poetry all about the beautiful animal but we are learning that they are in danger…
I can’t wait to continue our crafting journey and find out even more about polar bears, we might even find out how we can help them!
Class 6 have been getting crafty on the first day of our new expedition. We have learned the names of the seven continents using a fabulously catchy tune and have begun to investigate our chosen continent – Africa. We did jigsaws of our expedition title, made world continent maps and cut out animal masks to use in our new African savannah safari area. At the end of this week we will be sharing our learning with the other classes in our phase and hearing all about the continents they have been studying. We can’t wait for tomorrow to find out more!
We’ve had lots of crafty fun today to immerse our classrooms ready for our new expedition all about climate change and polar bears!
First we created cotton wool polar bears, second we decorated our windows with sparkly stars and third we created polar bears using a page from our new class text! We also created hand print polar bears which look great on display!
I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas holidays!
Just a reminder that Year 4 will start swimming first week back (WC 8th January)! Miss Knowles’ class will swim on Wednesdays and Mr Taylor’s class on Thursdays.
Please make sure you on time for school as we will be getting on the coach at 8.40am. If your child is not in school by that time, they will miss the swimming lesson.
Other reminders which can also be found on the letter:
If you have any questions please see class teachers or email [email protected]
We can’t wait to get started!
