Elm Class Updates
What a wonderful week we have had. Even thought we are all tired, the children have been working hard on their Rainforest leaflets and completing the maths curriculum. I will post some pictures of them next week. We have been enjoying playing the Glockenspiel in music and have picked up the melodies very quickly. In PE we have been learning to pass the baton effectively. We have set up our own investigations to compare rates of evaporation in Science and enjoyed the Willow Weaving and Dance Workshop for Olympic day.
Enjoy the photos

Continuing on the creative theme, Elm class have worked hard on completing the Kingfisher Project this week. We have a giant slow worm, Barn Owl, field mice, worms and a selection of woodland fungi, the children have written up their science experiments about soil permeability, the jobs that worms do in the soil and what treasures you can find, if you look deep into the soil.
We have carried on writing about the importance of rain forests, using a new book; The Great Kapok tree to inspire us. We will be redrafting the English work into persuasive leaflets which we will publish.
In Science we have continued thinking about fossils, in particular Mary Anning, and also evaporation. We thought about how Christians believe in Agape love and the children found meanings in the parables of the Widow's mite and the Feeding of the Four Thousand. In our maths lessons we have been thinking about shape and space and the year 4's have been moving onto statistics. Not to mention a fun swimming session, an intensive work out in PE and an exciting game of 'Lava Zone' Well done everyone!

As promised, a gallery of our amazing sculptures. These were made from wire and a plaster plinth and then we built up form using strips of cloth. This was tricky to do, with sticky fingers and tables and lots of perseverance. We are very fond of them!
We have also been thinking about the rich fool and the widows mite in RE and what they teach Christians about Agape love. We enjoyed this song:
In Maths Y4's have been learning about different shapes and Y3's have finished their block of learning about time.
In English we have finished our amazing poems about life cycles and conservation of British Wildlife. Our work will be on display in the hall next week for you to have a look at.

What a super week in Elm. We have carried on with our topic of why the rainforests are so important, reading a book about the Daintree forest in Australia, and taking notes from BBC planet Earth Jungles.
We have been finishing off our learning in history, by looking at paintings that were done at the time and spotting historical evidence of the Industrial Revolution.
In PE we practiced our skills of a good sprint start and the water race ready for sports day. We have some new pets to study in Science and have been feeding them our scraps to see how they change the soil, we also investigated whether carbon dioxide weighed anything. Ask the Y4's for the answer.
We are getting excited for our sculpture project and can't wait to make our figures using wire! I will take some photos, watch this space...

We have started thinking about our wire sculptures in art, by doing a modelling exercise with play dough and then some close observational drawing with tiny objects. Then we made some practice sculptures with one and a half pipe cleaners.
We had a mega session of athletics, playing capture the flag, aiming bean bags and jumping hopping and running. Swimming was great because we have had so much practice and have really improved, Y4 were swimming two lengths and Y3; were practicing breast stroke. It is tricky to get all the movements co-ordinated. In Science Y4 thought made mini greenhouses to demonstrate the water cycle and Y3 undertook a variety of tests on rocks, to investigate permeability, durability and density. We have also started looking at the History of Willow and how important this is to Somerset. Ask your children all about it.
