Ice Cream Treat!

Hello,

Another lovely week in Oak class!

We have been practising our May Day dance in PE this week - the music is quite fast so we're focusing on our moves to begin with.
We have also been outside in games, practising our netball skills. We have been practising our passing skills with a partner as well as our footwork, we did a great job.

In English we have been looking at poems this week focusing on poems about trains and some of the poems we looked at had repeated phrases, some had alliteration and adjectives. We imagined a train that went through Redbourn and what we might see. 

In Maths we have been learning all about division. We know that 'divide' means to share. We have been sharing things into groups of two and some of us challenged to share numbers into groups of 3. There has been some amazing Maths this week.

Today we carried out a science experiment. We had some paper lily's that were folded and we had to make predictions, thinking about what would happen when we placed the paper lily's in a tray of water. Some of us thought it might sink as it wasn't waterproof, some thought it might float as it was light. We actually observed that the paper lily's unfolded when they touched the water. They did eventually sink to the bottom.

We earned 50 marbles last week, so as a treat, today we had an ice cream party. We had a cone and a scoop of vanilla ice cream and got to choose some toppings. We had our ice cream outside on the story benches and listened to a lovely story.

What a fantastic week! This week the star award goes to Gabriel for having a great attitude towards his learning and always trying his best. Well done Gabriel.

Plop, our learning owl is going home with George C. George has shown some brilliant thinking and contributed well in all lesson. He has persevered with his learning and is showing independence. Well done George!

We hope you have a lovely long weekend, we look forward to seeing you on Tuesday.

Love Oak Class
