In December, this pupil was awarded writer of the month after she wrote an amazing letter in character as Jemmy Button (from a story we read last term).

Electricity – Testing Electric Currents.
As part of our science topic of electricity, today we used a voltage continuity tester to create live electrical circuits with different kinds of light bulbs. We also looked at LED lights and the way in which they can change colour.
The Water Cycle.
Last term in Science, we learnt all about states of matter and the water cycle. The children made mini water cycles using cress plants in plastic cups covered in cling film. We were then able to see condensation and evaporation happening inside the cups! The class also worked together to create an amazing classroom display depicting the water cycle diagram. Finally, we carried out a melting investigation to discover how quickly or slowly different materials melt. The children worked extremely hard and produced fantastic work!
Advent and Christmas
At the beginning of December, our class R.E. monitors; Tysharni and Maya, worked hard to create an Advent classroom display with an Advent wreath and information other class members had researched during our computing lessons. This helped us to learn more about Advent time and the ways in which we prepare for Christmas. The children also created Christmas cards to take home for their loved ones! We all thoroughly enjoyed our December preparations and celebrations!
