Our class assembly

In our class assembly today, we thought about how things can start small like a seed and grow to be great and wonderful things.

We thought about believing in ourselves and each other, sharing and friendship and faith in God.

Geography - Our Walk Around Blandford

 On Wednesday we went to explore the local area. We were looking at houses and collecting data about them.

 We walked quite a long way but we kept going and we spotted all kinds of things - like the new houses, ducks on the river and a big detached house in town.

 We also went to look at the oldest house that survived the fire of Blandford. The chimneys looked funny because they were not round.

 We also stopped for snack by the church. Yummy apples!


 We had to find all different types of houses like detached, semi detached and terraced. We also thought about the materials the roofs and houses were made out of.



 We recorded them in a table using tally marks and then when we got back to school we used a computer to make a graph for us.

We are off for our walk around Blandford next week to investigate the houses in the local area so look out for the pictures and work and then we will be looking at old houses.

A little bit of home learning

Hello Moscow Base!

Here are some ideas if you want to keep your brain ticking over the holidays. You don't have to do any of them but they are here just in case!

  • Have a look at the videos on our blog and see if you can remember any of the facts
  • Take one tricky word and see if you can put it into a sentence. Keep going until you have used all of them. Try and remember your writing target!
  • Write me a letter telling me what you have been doing over the Christmas holidays
  • Make up your own number rap or song. 
 See you in January! 



Number work

Here are some rhymes and songs to help you with some number facts. See if you can test your mum or dad over the holidays.

PE - Music for our Machine Dance

We have been thinking about machines in our dance this half term. 

We were inspired by the idea of a time machine and how it works. We are working really hard on our movements to make them machine like.
