Caterpillar update
Yesterday while we were busy learning our first caterpillar made its cocoon! We now have two more who are hanging ready to make their cocoons and we are excited to keep an eye on them all day today to see the changes. We just have one cheeky caterpillar who is still trying to disturb the others so we hope it doesn't carry on today as it is making the other caterpillars do a funny wiggle as they think they are in danger!
Year 2's fantastic acting!
In Year 2, we've been learning about a very significant person from history, William Shakespeare. We are learning about one of his plays, A Midsummer Night's Dream, which was a comedy and a tragedy!
This week, we have started to learn about the fairies. They played a very important part in the play, and were probably the most important characters. We're learning the most about Titania... she has a very funny story line because she falls in love with a man with a donkey's head! How funny that is!
To help us write Titania's diary entry, we had a go at some role-play to try and get into character. We were pretending to be Titania as she faught with Oberon. Have a look at our acting - can you guess who is Titania and who is Oberon?

2D's messiest class reward ever...
2D recently got all of their frogs on our class lilipad, which meant we got to choose our class reward. We chose to decorate biscuits - gingerbread men, Jammie Dodgers, digestives and bourbons.
We had lots of fun with icing sugar, food colouring and decoration bits and pieces... have a look at the fun we had. What a mess we made! :)
Well done 2D for getting all of your class rewards and being superstars - keep up the hard work!

Winchester Science Centre
On Friday Reception had a brilliant trip to the Science Centre! They behaved perfectly on their first school trip and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We had a very busy day starting with looking at all the exhibits, exploring what we could do and talking about how things worked. We then had a short play in the sunshine before lunch. After lunch we went to the planetarium and watched a show about the planets. We loved the experience so much! We also learnt a lot about the different planets in our solar system. We then had another explore before it was time to come home. This week we will be writing and talking about the trip and what we liked best. Take a look at some of our pictures.

Y2D trip to St Jude's
As part of our RE topic on special places, Y2D walked up to St Jude's church. We met Padre Roy and enjoyed looking at all the special things in the church.
Y5 Music
Year 5 have been learning about accompaniment in their music lessons. We have learnt a song about the story of King Midas. They have learnt ostinatos, chord patterns and even played the melody line on their instruments - what a talented bunch!

Miniature Stone Henge Models
Our topic this term is The Stone Age. In English, we have been learning about instructional texts. We had the opportunity to make our very own model of Stone Henge. We used salt dough, which we made ourselves from scratch.
We wrote our instructional texts "How to make a miniature Stone Henge" focusing on time conjunctions and imperative verbs.
Here are some pictures of how we made it. Have a go at home.
To make the dough we used: one cup of salt, one cup of flour and one cup of water.
Sieve of Eratosthenes
Year 5 have been investigating properties of numbers. Today, children had to follow instructions using their knowledge of multiples to predict, identify patterns and explain their reasoning.
After completing the investigation Kaitlyn and Evelyn realised the numbers were Prime numbers.
" We found out the numbers left in the grid are Prime numbers. Prime numbers have to be greater than one and can only be divided by itself and one" e.g 2, 3, 5, 7
Bailey and Bethany recognised the prime numbers. They drew factor bugs to demonstrate the prime numbers.
