Can I please remind all children to bring in their reading book on Thursdays (except for free readers). We are very lucky to have a volunteer reader, Mr Pressley, come in and listen to our children read every Thursday afternoon so it is really important that all children bring in their reading book on this day.
Thank you!

3D Shape Hunt
Over the past two days we have been investigating 3D shapes and their properties. We are really good at recognising and naming the main 3D shapes such as cylinder, cube and sphere. Whilst some of us stayed in the classroom using polydron to make 3D shape nets, some children went on a 'shape hunt' around school to see how many 3D shapes are around us every day.
Can you name these 3D shapes?
How many faces, edges and corners do they have?

Fieldhead Carr Estate Agents: Would you like to buy a house?
Some of Year were buying and selling houses here.
What would your ideal house be like if you could buy any house?
A bedroom in a shoe box: Creating our mood boards.
We thought about colours and fabrics and items we would have in our ideal bedrooms.
We used all these ides to create our mood boards.
We used magazine cuttings and colouring pencils to create our mood boards.
What would you have in your ideal bedroom?
SEAL: New beginnings and the feelings we have
We worked in the school garden. We discussed a story about a boy called Sami. He was from a different country and had lots of mixed feelings about starting a new school in a new country.
We wrote down all the feelings we though Sami would feel.
What do you think he would be feeling?
What could he do to make himself deal with these feelings?
See our fantastic work on symmetry!
Some of us classified shapes. We looked at how many lines of symmetry they had.
Some of us worked in pairs. We drew half a shape and then our partner had to draw the symmetrical side.
Everyone can now explain what a line of symmetry is!
Which shapes have lines of symmetry? How many lines do they have?
