This week in Devon

Week beginning 18th May

In English, we have approaching the end of 'Wild Robot' and are intrigued to see how it will finish. The children have been working hard to think of vocabulary to describe a winter scene and enjoyed learning how Roz coped with the animals and helped others survive too.

In Maths, we have finished our money unit and will now be starting to look at time. We will be looking at seconds, minutes, days, weeks, months and years as well as telling time on 12 and 24 hour clocks. If you are going somewhere over half term there are lots of questions you could ask: How long until we leave? How long until we get there? How long did the journey take?

For science week, we did a balloon rocket experiment, thinking about the forces used to make the balloon move. The class showed great perseverance in tackling some challenges along the way to make the experiment run as smoothly as possible.

In linked learning, the children have worked well in groups to build the robots they designed last week. Thank you to everyone who donated recycling to help with this! This week, we will be completing the robots and seeing if we can use our knowledge of electrical circuits to incorporate some lights and motors.

Devon had a fantastic time doing their sponsored bounce! Thank you to all those who helped raise money and to all those who helped organise the event.

We hope you all have a restful half-term and enjoy the weather! Please do keep practising those time tables ready for the start of next term!
