Cherry Class Blog Term 4 Week 1

Welcome everyone to our latest (and first) blog of the new term. We have an exciting term ahead of us, in particular our trip to the Science Museum in London in two weeks time that will support our learning linked to 'Space'. 

In Literacy we have started a new class text entitled 'Cosmic' We are only a few chapters in but the book is about a child - who looks like an adult - who enters a competition to go to space! It is written by a real-life comedian and it has been a fun book to read so far, three chapters in! 

In Numeracy, Year 6 have investigated percentages of amounts and missing values, whilst Year 5 have looked at decimals numbers and converting to fractions and ordering and rounding numbers up to 3 decimal places.

Our topic this term is 'Space Explorers' and for our first Science lesson of the week we investigated the Solar System and the children produced a colourful, informative information text about this subject in their books. We also looked at the Solar System in Spanish and learnt the names of the various planets!

In history, we are looking at historical events linked to science and space, and had a lively discussion in class all about flat earth vs spherical earth and why early people believed the earth was flat.

Have a good weekend everyone
