Marvellous Magnets

This week, Rhino class conducted a fair test to find the strongest type of magnet.

The children planned an investigation which involved seeing how many paper clips each magnet could hold. Before testing each of the different types of magnet, the children predicted which they thought would be the strongest.

After the they had finished, they had some quite surprising results which led to a great discussion in class.

Describing a setting

This week, Rhino class have looked primarily at character description but finished the week by exploring a setting. To tie in with our class text of Fantastic Mr Fox, the pupils explored a woodland setting in detail.

By imagining themselves in the setting, they constructed phrases using their senses and prepositions to help explain where they could see, hear or smell details.

All this preparation should lead to some excellent descriptive writing next week.
