This week Team CH have been talking about the weather. We discussed how different types of weather makes us feel; how we should dress for different weather types and, also observed the changes of weather throughout the day.

The children have been really busy this week, and have already made a start on their science learning. This half term we are focusing on States of Matter and the children participated in being a molecule, showing how they vibrate when in the state of a solid, a liquid or a gas.
Team AF and LL have started their science learning based on electricity and circuits. We have learnt about key figures and innovators in the field of electricity. We have also explored and found out about renewable and fossil fuels. We have also produced work around the importance of staying safe around electricity. We are now looking forward to the practical elements of investigating more complex circuits.
In Team CW we have been learning what a pattern is and what they can look like. We looked at patterns on animals and described what we could see. Some of the words we used were “colourful” “stripy” and “spotty.” We learnt to identify if a pattern is repeating or not. We went on Welly Walk and tried to spot patterns in our nature area. Here are some of the patterns that we found! We found a repeating pattern in the fence, we saw that the stepping stones were in a circular pattern, that bark and wood have beautiful patterns in it when we looked closely and feathers have a very stripy pattern if we look at each tiny spike within it. We saw that leaves have many different patterns around their edge and that their veins make patterns and we also noticed that acorns have patterns on their cups!
This week Team JF carried out our half termly enquiry based on pattern seeking. The children carried out careful observations around the school grounds. We decided to investigate and find the answer to our big question of where would we find the most insects? From this we discussed the similarities and differences between their habitats and why they might be the happiest there. After we carried out our investigation, we looked at our findings and concluded there was a pattern to the habitat and number of insects living there. More insects are found in dark, damp, sheltered spaces.
