All of Class 9 have been working very hard at school and at home to improve their handwriting. They have been coming into school and using their Letterjoin App and their handwriting book to try and perfect their joins. We are so proud of their fantastic efforts and you can see a huge improvement. Well done to all of Class 9.
Also, Mrs Glynn tweeted a picture of Class 9's handwriting where they were using the Letterjoin App and their homework books and Letterjoin saw it and sent each child a magnetic writing board. The class were so excited to use them for the first time.

This week we had a time travelling visitor who took us on a journey right back to the beginning of time up to the current day. We then got in the time machine and went back to Ancient Greece.

This week the children have been learning about Black History. The theme this year is 'Saluting our Sisters' and we have learnt about Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock who is a British space scientist and science communicator. She is best known as the presenter for BBC astronomy series The Sky at Night. Maggie was born in London in 1968 to Nigerian parents and became fascinated by space travel and science when she was a young girl. We found her story inspirational. Here are our fact files about her life.

Class 9 have had an exciting start to their Science learning All about Electricity. They are experimenting making different circuits and have found out what a complete circuit needs. Ask your child to tell you all about it.

The children in Class 9 have been learning all about First Aid in their PSHE lessons. They have acted out scenarios about what to do if someone has a common injury. The children worked as teams to come up with the simple steps for how to help someone who has one of the common injury. They created powerpoints with the key steps of how to help someone and added images to make it clear and easy to follow. The childrens' learning was AMAZING and we are sending it to the teachers in Year 1, 2 and 3 to share with the children so they also know what to do. Well done Class 9 for being super First Aiders.

Class 9 have continued their learning on States of Matter. Today we looked at cooling and decreasing the temperature. We took the classrom temperature and then put the thermometer in to icy water with ice and saw the temperature decrease (go down) to nearly negative numbers. we talked about when the temperature decreases then the particles in the state slow down and contract. We then blew up balloons to different sizes and submerged them into cold icy water. We watched and observed the balloons getting smaller as the gas particles slowed down and contracted. Next week we are looking at heating and seeing how solids, liquids and gases respond.

This week Class 9 were measuring capacity. They were great at their estimates and so sensible when they were measuring - although we did have a few wet books! Great skills from everyone.

Class 9 have been working hard on their new science topic States of Matter and this week they used thermometers to carry out an experiment using ice and recorded the temperature and length of time it took to melt. They kept the test fair by testing every 5 minutes, using the same amount of ice and having the ice in the same container on each table. They found that the temperature increased over the period and finished at + 20 which was the temperature of the room. The children bserved the solid ice melt and turn to liquid water over the timed perid. The children concluded that the ice would melt and eventually match the temperature of the environment it was in. The children are all science stars!

Class 9 have really been uplevelling their editing skills this week. We edited a Teams assignment with twenty mistakes - it took a long time to find them all! After this warm up we turned to our own writing from yesterday. Before we handed our learning in we put on our 'fresh eyes' glasses for one last check. Mrs Tomlinson is very proud of how our skills are improving.

Class 9 enjoyed a visit from Danny Evans a professional basket ball player. The children had a chance to see where Danny started from and how he now plays for Great Britain. The children asked lots of questions, for example from Hammad, " who is your sporting idol?" They also had a chance to try out some skills and take part in a work out that Danny does most days to keep fit. The class loved the whole experience and went outside at playtime and played basket ball.

Class 9 became a human timeline this week. We are learning about the Vikings and ordered ourselves into events during the Viking era.

Class 9 came back to school after the Easter holidays ready to learn. Our new topic The Vikings has already grabbed the childrens' attention.
We have also started our Science learning on States of Matter and the first lesson looked at solids, liquids and gases. The children had to find out about particles and how these particles can vibrate and spread out.
In PSHE the children talked about having a good bedtime routine to help them sleep, like reading a book, having a bath or listening to music was a few ideas. Then the children came up with a guide to having a gd sleeping routine.

Class 9 were asked to find out about Alexander Graham Bell the inventor of the telephone. The children had fun making their own string and cup phones and worked out the tighter the string the clearer you culd hear your friends voice. They tried different experiments to see how vibrations travelled through different materials. Class 9 went on to create a Powerpoint all bout the inventor Alexander Graham Bell.

This week the children were learning about the digestive system. They used tights and food to recrate what happens when we eat. They were so enthusiastic and used some great technical vocabulary too.

Class 9 had a great start to their Science topic on teeth and digestion by finding out at home about the different teeth we have. In class children used their iPads to watch which teeth they used for eating a slice of apple. The children found out about the particular job each type of tooth has. Why don't you ask them to tell you all about teeth.

This week the children were treated to a new book from The Harmony Trust. It was lovely to have time to browse the books and then choose one to keep forever! We went back to class and straight into the new books. The children love the smell of a new book and time to chat to their friends about what they had chosen. Many children chose the same as a friend so they coudl read together.

This week is Curriculum Week and Class 9 are basing all their learning on a rainforest story called Shaman's Apprentice. The children have made a rainforest in a box, added a vocabulary book with unknown or interesting words. Then they made salt dough rainforest animals and painted them and then added these to their box. The children have also written some AMAZING setting descriptions and used different media to create rainforest pictures. The photgraphs are just some of the super work Class 9 have produced.

Class 9 were treated to some new books again. A few weeks ago our wonderful student teacher bought Harry Potter books for our book loving children and this week we treated them to Percy Jackson books. They cannot wait to get stuck into these.
