In English, we have started reading ‘Room on the ‘Broom’. We have loved making our own potions in carousel!
In History, we have been looking at significant explorers. This week, we learnt about Neil Armstrong and the children loved making their own rockets!
In maths, we have been learning all about shapes. We explored lots of different shapes and did a shape hunt around the classroom, finding rectangles, squares, circles and triangles.
In science, we have continued our topic ‘materials’. This week we learnt all about what a waterproof material is and conducted our own experiment for choosing the best material for an umbrella.
We have loved singing our Christmas songs too! Have a lovely Christmas holiday!
