Stick lady has lost her husband ! We have founds lots of sticks but none of them are her stick husband... This week we have been counting to the number 20 to find out how many sticks we have. We have been partitioning the numbers into tens and ones. We know that tens are in the left and ones are on the right.

The children have really enjoyed learning how to follow and give instructions to each other this week. They have programming the Beebots to follow a set of directional instructions to make them move around a grid. The children found this fun and didn't stop laughing. As you can see one of the Beebots didn't like to listen and decided to have a nosey at the what was happening in the classroom instead.

Ho ! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas !
The children are getting more and more excited about Christmas. We have started decorating the classroom and will be putting the Little Fir Tree up this week. We are going to be reading Christmas stories, singing songs and making christmas crafts as part of the 24 day Advent Christmas countdown. Make sure you ask your child about the stories that they have been reading!

The children have been learning about the importance of washing their hands. The Nurse came into school this week and showed the children how to wash their hands and talked about why they needed to wash their hands too! She gave the children handwashing posters to use in school to help them remember how to wash their hands correctly and taught them a song to sing too!
Handwashing song (Tune of row row row your boat)
Wash, wash, wash your hands, wash nasty germs away,
If you don’t you might get ill and that would spoil your day.

Yesterday, we tested the strength of different magnets and saw how strong they were! We then did two experiments:
1:How many paper clips the magnet could hold flat,
2:How many paper clips the magnet could hold dangling in a line.
Some were stronger than others. We had great fun testing this out!

To launch our new english topic, the children were shown a 'Mystery Object.' Their task, was to work in groups of four to draw the object.
They were only allowed to take 'sneak peeks' of the object, so it was a very challenging indeed!
How well did they do?

This week we have been thinking about what it might be like to be a child at school during the outbreak of WW2. We have been writing diary entries about our days. Today Miss Wilson brought in a gas mask for the children to try out, it was very uncomfortable to wear and difficult to breathe in!

As part of anti-bullying week all children in KS2 had the chance to take part in a drama workshop. Today, 5HW acted out the different types of bullying, and what we can do to 'make a change'.
We made a promise that in 5HW we will be brave and act with kindness and wisdom at all times.
Have a look at some of our drama activities.

This week we have been using lots of materials, like plastic, metal and cardboard, to make strong houses that the wolf cannot blow down.
I think that the metal houses were strongest because they couldn't blow down - Jamaine
I think that my house made of plastic connectors was best because they can't break apart or blow down - Harris

This half term, we will be finding out about North America and writing disaster stories based around the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. For our launch, we watched a video clip showing all the damage an Earthquake can cause. We then watched an Earthquake drill procedure so we knew what to do in case an earthquake happened. After that, we practised how quickly we could drop, cover and hold. We were very quick!
