We spent some time doing map work today and finding rivers in Cumbria. 

We had so much fun this afternoon taking part in the virtual athletics competition. This week we practiced, next week we start keeping scores!

A very exciting afternoon using filtration, sieving, evaporation and magnetic attraction to separate solids and liquids 

We are managing to stay awake despite being in our pyjamas. We went outside to do some pyjama aerobics to wake ourselves up.

Thank you for all the donations

We have turned the classroom into a science dictionary for our new science topic about materials. 

Magical dream catchers 

Lots and lots of fun doing forest schools today. Willow crowns, dream catchers and scarecrows. Lovely way to end a lovely half term.

We have had a very busy day learning about Stonehenge and how it was built. We built our own versions of it. We wondered if they would last as long as the real Stonehenge!

We have been supporting World Mental Health Day today. Thank you for you donations 

Mrs Shaw has inspired us this week and we read a cautionary tale about the health and safety issues around eating too many custard creams and being trampled by rhino!! She got us some custard creams to help us with our story writing 

This afternoon we have been exploring how life changed from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic by using stone age tools (rocks) to make flour from oats. We decided it was not always easier to be a farmer than a hunter gatherer! 

We have been learning and making numbers to 1,000,000
