We have finished the last week before our half term holidays and we now have a week's break.

We have done some more poetry - writing concrete poems about our own choice of themes and, today, looked at some children's short stories (Mr. Men stories) which we are going to use to help us think about story plots at the beginning of next half term. In maths we spent a little time on number sequences and also did some more revision of work that we have covered previously this term.

In science on Wednesday, we used Logit Explorers and temperature probes to record what happens to the temperature of water as it is brought to the boil (i.e. that the temperature increases but does not go over 100° C). We also used the sensing device and probe to record the temperature of water into which some ice had been placed. It took over six hours for the temperature of the liquid to come to within a degree of room temperature.

This afternoon we finished our week with painting - and we completed our picture of summer trees and these will be displayed in the corridor soon.

I hope everyone has a good holiday - school reopens on Monday 2nd November.
