As you’ve probably heard, we dipped our toe in the SATs pool this week, completing a set of past papers. We have started early in order to identify particular areas of focus for the coming months. We find that it is also a way to prepare the children for May so they have a good idea of what it will be like. Now that those are out of the way, we will be back to our usual lessons and are looking forward to starting our leaflets next week, which will focus on substances that can be harmful to the body.
In science, we looked at the different components of blood. By using different items to represent each component, the children ‘made’ blood. We used yellow water to represent the plasma, cheerios and red food colouring as the red blood cells; marshmallows for the white blood cells and cotton wool to represent platelets. The children also discussed the role that each component plays. Please see the photos below:
This week, we have only given the children a little bit of homework as a reward for this weeks tests.
