Yesterday, we carried out a science investigation looking at how changing the surface of a ramp would affect the distance a car travels. Children worked together to ensure the test was fair and carefully measured the distance the car travelled.

Tigers enjoyed some netball in the lovely autumn sunshine this afternoon. The children worked well on teams – finding space and practising quick decision making.

This week in our history topic we focused on the ancient Egyptian process of mummification. The class had so much fun turning each other into mummies! We then learnt the multiple steps involved in preparing the body, including removing the brain and other organs, ready to be placed in the tomb!

We’ve had a fantastic first full week back! The children have returned with great, positive attitudes.

In our science work we have started looking at different contact forces. In groups, children sorted push and pull forces into a Venn diagram, working collaboratively and discussing the results. We have also enjoyed some active maths and started our topic work on ancient Egypt. In our literacy, we have practised writing expanded noun phrases, using adverbs and punctuating speech.

Well done for all of your hard work this week Tigers!

We all had lots of fun on our science trip at Xplore! The children really enjoyed exploring all the hands-on activities and our workshop all about the human body 😃
