We can't believe that is another term over! There have been many highlights this term and the children have a huge amount to be proud of. We hope they have a fantastic break.

This week, the children have written their writing ready to complete their double page spread for an information text on volcanoes. In geography, we have learnt about earthquakes and why they occur. In science, we investigated sinking and floating. The children also have a composting workshop that we couldn't fit into Science Week which they really enjoyed. We have almost finished our first fractions unit and will start to look at capacity and weight when we return. We will write letters in English on our return. 
In Music this term the children have been developing  their singing technique. The have been learning to keep in time and working on musical notation and rhythm. The unit finished with a group performance of a song with actions. The children have been learning to:
Move and sing as a team, following the lyrics on the screen.
Recognise minims, crotchets and quavers often by ear and reliably by sight.
Perform rhythms accurately from notation and layer them to create a composition.
Join in with the performances confidently, and reasonably in time and tune.
In DT, we have been making 3D shapes. We used the shapes to make castles! 
In RE, we learnt all about Ramadan and Eid-al-Fitr. We compared Eid and Christmas. 

We want to thank you for your continued support and the children for being so enthusiastic and curious this term.

Have a brilliant Easter everyone!
