The first half term is over!

Class one have been busy as we have neared the end of term. There have been lots of sporting activities including the cross country and football tournaments.

In class we have been studying creating suspense in stories, making animations in ICT and adaptations in science.

Our maths set is busy today with the 'Straw Challenge' as an end of term treat! Using only 100 straws and some Sellotape, they are aiming to build a structure that will support a cup of water 50cm off the ground. Working collaboratively, each group is using planning, mental calculation, shape (relating to strength of structure), estimation, trial and error and team work skills. Results will be posted after half term when the structures will be completed and tested!
