After we have studied it this term, Giraffe class had a treat this morning of watching the film Hidden Figures

We have been trying to use passive voice to improve our formal writing. It is not easy but we are slowly getting the hang of it.

We had the Lego out this afternoon to see if we could figure out how to make a moving vehicle using gears, pulleys and motors. We are then going to use this idea to power the Mars rovers we are making.

On Friday we paired up and completed a series of exercises in the hall. We are going to complete these exercises over the next few weeks to improve our fitness and stamina. We worked well with our partners, encouraging and supporting one another and had lots of fun.

This morning when we arrived at school there was a strange coat hanging up in our classroom. It definitely wasn’t there when Miss Bellicoso left on Friday evening and we don’t know where it could possibly have come from. We decided to investigate it and found some interesting photographs in the pockets.

This month is Black History month and we have been really interested in learning about the struggles black people faced in the past during our topic on the book Hidden figures. We have been upset to learn about how badly some black people have been treated in the past and have been learning all about segregation. We are so keen on our topic that some of us asked if we could go and do a black history month project and this morning the first project arrived in school. Hopefully there will be some more to look at this month so watch this space.
