Science investigations

As part of our science topic, we carried out an investigation to find out whether plants really do need roots.



We explored the results before we broke up and will write them up when we return to school.
Can you remember what we did?  How did we create a fair test?  What happened?  What was your original prediction?  Were you right?  Can you explain the journey the water takes through the plant?


We will also see what has happened in our other investigation - do plants need leaves?  What was your prediction?

PE - it's cold outside!

 

After half term we will be finishing our unit of work on Dance.  We will then be moving onto Striking and Fielding Games.  As most of these lessons will be outside (weather permitting) we recommend that you pack a dark pair of jogging bottoms into your PE kit, as the weather is still chilly.

Art and DT

After half term we will be completing our relationship portraits, using water colours.  We had a practise, before we broke up, to understand how the water helps the colour move around.  We used colour washes and layered our paint to produce great effects!

 

We will then be moving onto our DT topic - to explore stable structures and create a photo frame and stand.  Perhaps you would like to bring a photo frame in from home so we can explore how it is made.

Roman Numerals

Some of you are keen to understand the numbers that Romans used (Roman numerals).

After half term we will be using Roman numerals in maths.  Can you remember where we might see Roman numerals being  used nowadays?
