Xmas Fair
This week, the little Christmas elves and fairies (your children) have been working hard to make Christmas items to sell at the Xmas Fair next week to raise money for our end of year Leaver's Party : the waterslide and ice-cream van.

SATs Preparation
Welcome back to a new half-term! SATs preparation is fully underway and we have begun our weekly practises. Remember to regularly check your child's planner to find their recent scores.
This week, in Geography we have been learning about the famous Silk Road. We have explored why the road was important and how merchants used to travel along the road by camel to trade precious commodities.
In our Science, this half term we will be studying light. We started the topic by investigating 'How does light travel?'. We found out that light travels faster than the speed of sound and travels in straight lines. We learned new vocabulary such as opaque, transparent and translucent, which we then used when writing an explanation about our findings.

Learning About Microbes
For our Science this half term, we have been learning about Living things. This week, we have been finding out about different microbes (viruses, bacteria and fungi) and how they can be helpful or harmful to our planet. We have began an investigation where we have put bread in different conditions (heat, dark, light, dry, damp and cool) to see which condition makes mould grow the quickest. Each day, we have been observing the changes to the bread. Take a look at our photos.
