We have been learning about SOIL in Science and what it's made of. We examined some soil from the school grounds closely to try and work out what soil is.  We learned about different types of soil and which rocks they started off as. We had to illustrate the story of Roger Rock and Simon Soil to show how soil is formed.

In Maths, we have been  carry on with  adding and subtracting mentally and also we have been MAKING CONNECTIONS with our number bond facts.  For example, if we know 9 + 4 is 12, we can work out that 90 plus 40 is 120  and 120 subtract 40 is 90. Clever eh?

In English, we have written our non-chronological  information texts about dinosaurs, although we were allowed to make up some 'facts' to include as long as we used sub-headings, conjunctions and super vocabulary!

In PSHE we are on week 4 of 4 of our TAKING CARE PROJECT and that's all about our body and keeping safe. We talked about parts we keep private and also about things like who we like to hold hands with, who can tickle us and that we need to tell a trusted adult if we are feeling our  Early Warning Signs if we don't like somebody doing something.  

In DT 3CS have begun this half term's work on POP -UP mechanisms and have had lots of fun although some of the folding has been quite frustrating!! 3SL and 3SS are looking forward to this DT next week.

Have a great weekend!
