Maple Class - Term 4

 

In Science, the children have been investigating rock properties.  They poured vinegar on the rocks to test acidity reactions, scratched rocks with scissors to test hard/softness and used sandpaper to test their durability. In English, the children have planned and written their Ancient Egyptian inspired adventure stories. 

 

 

 In Science, the children have been learning about their new topic, Rocks and Fossils. In class, the children studied a range of different rocks and looked at how they could group and classify them. In Maths, the children have been measuring lengths in metres, cm and mm, before converting between the different measurements. During PE, the children have been developing their balance, flexibility and co-ordination through a range of different trials. 

 The children have waited patiently for their mummified tomatoes to dry out and finally had the opportunity to clean them, and wrap them in linen, to finish the mummifcation process. In DT, the children were investigating how to make paper more stable. They folded, twisted and rolled the paper to see which was the most stable for making a paper chair. In Science, the children had a wonderful time studying finger prints and how they can be used to help catch a biscuit thief. They tried to identify patterns and similarities between their own finger prints and the suspects.
