Water Cycle

In Science we've been studying Solids, liquids and gases.

Today we learnt about the Water Cycle and how the water changes into a gas and then back to water.

We wrote a story all about a drop of water called Droplet.

Here is my story.

Niomi's Quest! Written by Hattie

In our literacy lessons we have been writing our own myth and legends. Hattie has worked extremely hard on her myth and has produced a fantastic piece of writing. Hattie's story isn't finished yet, so watch this space! 


Many , many, many years ago in the bitterly cold, snowy mountains of Rome was a small village home to many Roman warriors. Every one was brutal to each other in training, but the most ruthless was a beautiful orphan called Niomi. Kind and loving she may be, Niomi had never lost a battle in her life. The mountains where Niomi lived were feisty, cold and not a nice place to live.

The next day was harsh training for long marathons through bitterly cold caves that were impossible to get out of without heavy frostbite.

Piercingly bitter weather made it's way up to Niomi's ram-shackle village but training was still on, at last Niomi was prepared! She trudged through the snow which was as deep as the ocean, with her hard, shiny, turtle shell shield and her beast tooth dagger strapped firmly on her side. Nothing could stop her now...

Interesting find!

I was playing in the bark area with my friends, as I usually do during Thursday break time when Seth and I noticed something unfamiliar.
We took a closer look and realised what we had stumbled across a bird skull!

We are not sure what type of bird, however I am keen to find out!

If anyone has any ideas about what bird this skull could have belonged to, please feel free to comment on this post.

Super Science!

We had a problem in Science! Our friend Bob (who studies penguins for a living) accidentally fell into freezing water and froze himself into a ball!

Luckily for him, we were thereto save him! We had to think of lots of different ways to melt the ice as quickly as possible. (No fire or boiling water because that would hurt him!)

We used: a hot water bottle, putting the heating on, tin foil, a plastic bag and think paper.

We left our ice balls over night to see if they were fully melted by the morning. We were using our Science enquiry skill of observing over time.

Here are some pictures of our experiment.

The hot water bottle was the winner melting Bob our of the ice the quickest!

observational drawings

Last week we experimented with different materials to help us with our observational drawings.

Today we started our observational drawings of shells. We spent a really long time looking at our shells before drawing them. We have included lots of detail to make them look even more life like.

We hope you enjoy looking at our pictures.

Myths and Legends

Our new English topic is myths and legends.

We have been reading, watching and listening to different myths and legends focusing on character.

We have been thinking about physical appearance, personality and feelings that characters may have at different parts of the story.

Tomorrow we will be creating our own mythical characters using our new knowledge of myths and legends.
