This week we have been historians, learning about the space race! We have looked at key events and created timelines, showing important dates and understanding their significance. We really enjoyed being able to see some of the replicas and parts of actual rockets that have been to space at the Science Museum.

We also loved Frozen the Musical, bringing to life the well known story with incredible sets, music and the all important costume changes.

As mathematicians this week we have been looking at decimals, focusing on place value, as well as using them within calculations.

In English we have begun to study the book “Cosmic”, where the main character has ended up in space!

Next week:

We will be continuing to look at the space race in history, looking at the impact that this has had on society, before moving on to look at Space, light and sound in Science.

For many of our maths and English lessons we will be completing past SATs papers as part of assessment week, along with continuing with Cosmic and decimals.

On Thursday we are taking part in a Cyber Champions workshop:
