World Book Day Poetry.
Happy World Book Day!
We chose to perform 'The Ocean's Blanket' by Carol Ann Duffy. It is a poem of contrast that links to the book we are reading this term - The Varmints.
It also links beautifully to our previous Global Development Topic - Life below water, where we looked at the wonders of the Ocean.
We hope you enjoy.

Published 18/06/21, by Christina FarmerWe have enjoyed doing science this week. We used torches to see which materials would reflect light.
This week we have enjoyed doing some artwork about the old man's dream from our Power of Reading book. It said he dreamt of a colourful jungle, so we looked at Henri Rousseau's work and created our dream inspired by his work.
This week in we have been adding and subtracting fractions. We have also been doing Big Maths Beat That.
We had a very exciting day on Tuesday. A hot air balloon landed on our field, and we got to ask the balloonist questions about how the balloon works. Before, he landed in our field we think he landed in someone else's garden.
On Tuesday we also took part in the Big Sing. Hopefully we have helped to set a world record.
Have a lovely weekend,
Rachel Carson

Published 28/05/21, by Christina FarmerIn English we finished reading Lob. Before we finished it, we wrote how we thought it would end. We had to plan it before we wrote it, it was very fun.
We have really enjoyed DT this week. We have been making cereal bars and packaging. In DT today we were cooking our cereal bars.
In science we have enjoyed learning about different religious food and drawing them.
Today we had a carousel of activities while some groups were baking. There were some code breaking activities, word searches, a fun game and a French activity.
In PE this week we’ve been playing rounders against Sylvia Earle.
On Wednesday we went up to the field and planted some bee bombs, seeds and bee houses. It’s part of our pledges for Blue Peter’s Green badge. As a class we are turning off lights and electronics when we have finished with them or leave the classroom. Some of us have chosen to turn off electronics at home when we have finished using them, or to swap 30 minutes of screen time for outdoor time. Our other pledge is to either, swap plastics to reusable wrapping or to help sort the recycling so we stop getting dirty recycling in our recycle bins. We have already planted pollinating seeds as a pledge but some of us want to eat vegetarian meals once or twice a week as well. We hope you will join in with us while we are doing this.
Have a wonderful half term,
Rachel Carson
