English / Maths – All the children have been doing their end of Key stage 1 SATs in reading and maths this week. They had two reading papers and two maths papers (arithmetic and reasoning). They have all tried really hard with these, well done Class 3!
Science – This week we looked at describing how animals obtain their food from plants and other animals using the idea of the food chain. The children were introduced to the terms ‘producer’, ‘consumer’, ‘predator’ and ‘prey’ and looked together at creating a food chain. They then worked in pairs to complete interactive tasks to make a range of food chains, thinking carefully where the plants/animals were placed each time.

RE – In RE the children have been looking at the lyrics in some Christian songs and hymns – ‘My Lighthouse’, ‘God who made the earth’ and ‘Jesus loves me’. They worked in groups and discussed the meaning of the lyrics and what Christians might learn about God from the songs.
Art – This week we looked at different images of snakes showing their different patterns and made links to the rainbow serpent – a common motif in the art and religion of Aboriginal Australia. The children made collages using coloured paper to create their own snake patterns.
