What a week in Magpies and Swallows!

It has been wonderful welcoming all the children to learn together in the classroom. In English, we started the week recapping the features of a newspaper report. We then became journalists as something strange happened during the storm early on Thursday morning. We used our investigative skills to find out the facts and we will be collating them into newspaper reports of our own! Watch this space to find out what has been going on.

In science, we have been grouping materials according to their state (solid, liquid and gas) and looking at how the properties vary in each state. Some of us used ball pit balls to show how the particles are different. Can you tell which picture shows which state?

Take a look at our learning in CoJo’s this week. We really challenged our team building and communication skills.

The children have also loved learning about the census! We have looked at the data in tables, pictograms, bar charts, pie charts and line graphs to help us answer different questions about the country we live in and how it has changed over time. Next week, we will be collecting our own data.

Make sure you count in the census! To find out more, please visit census.gov.uk
