Spring
Today we had a very special assembly from the Two-Faced Twins. The children were excited to see them in person, as we will be studying these local artists as part of our Sunny Worthing topic, in the Summer Term.
Making metre sticks to help us calculate decimal fractions.
Art - finding the right words to make our poems.
Today we participated in a webinar with Alim Kamara, for National Story Telling Week. This is now available on YouTube if you would like to watch it from home:

In science, we explored upthrust, air resistance and gravity.
Next week we will:
In English, we will continue to plan and draft our writing.
In maths, we will begin our new topic of calculating with decimal fractions.
In science, we will friction, gears, levers and pulleys.
