We had lots of fun today making and investigating shadows. We learnt that a shadow is formed when an opaque object blocks the light falling on it. We also noticed that the size of the shadow changed depending how close the object was to the light source.

Today, we have been learning about fronted adverbials. We read sentences and had to decide if they had fronted adverbials or not. We also sorted fronted adverbials into three groups; manner, place and time. Then we used fronted adverbials in our own sentences.
Well done to these children who have been working really hard in class and followed our ready, respectful and safe rules. we are very proud of you!

To celebrate Space Week Year 3 visited an inflatble planetarium. We learned about the planets in our solar system and found out about Mars Rover and its mission to Mars. We also discussed how the moon seems to change its shape over time. We learnt about the phases of the Moon and conducted our own experiment to see how the light affects the shape of the moon as we see it travels around the Earth. We used a torch to represent the sun, a small ball to represent the moon and we had one person in the middle to represent the Earth.

The planetarium from Jodrell Bank visited our school for year 2s topic and to celebrate Space Week. It was out of this world!
Years 3, 5 and 6 took part in a poetry workshop with the amazing Michael Rosen on National Poetry Day. We watched Michael perform some of his poetry and joined in along with him. I know that Year 6 particularly enjoyed 'No breathing in class' Please look at Michael's website for many more poetry ideas and performances: Michael Rosen | Official Website He is certainly inspiring.
