This week has been really exciting as we have had our first brass lesson with Mr Lennon. All of the children had a go at holding and making a sound with their instruments and have taken them home for more practise! We can't wait to hear how they progress over the year.

!Learner of the Week!

Our first Learner of the week in class 7 is this young man for offering excellent ideas in a range of lessons. Well done and keep it up :)

This week in science, Mrs Gollick set us a challenge to separate some materials. She gave each group a container filled with a muddy solution containing mud, small sticks and stones and other delights! In our groups, our challenge was to use the equipment given to us to filter the water until it was as clear as we could get it. We talked about how to make this a fair test by making sure each group had the exact same amount of resources - including the amount of the muddy solution. Some of us did incredibly well and managed to get the water almost clear. Take a look at our photos to see how we did.

Incredible Science!

In class 7, we LOVE science - especially when we get to complete science experiments that test our prediction skills. We have been learning about changing materials and in this lesson we were learning about the different effects there can be when joining two materials together. In this experiment, we combined water with these different solids: sugar, salt, sodium bicarbonate, baking powder, sand and gravy granules. We observed that some of these sank, created a solution, floated or reacted. Our favourite was certainly the reaction to the bicarbonate of soda! As a class, we decided to keep: the sand, sugar and salt tubs and put them in our windowsill to observe what happens to them over the next few weeks.

All of the children in class 7 have settled well. In literacy, they have been extending their knowledge about sentences. The children worked together to order a sentence with a subordinating clause and put the punctuation in the correct place. They were then asked if they could put the sentence they had created into a different order by moving the subordinating clause. Some sentences were trickier than others and the children used their resilience to find the solution. Have a look at the pictures to see how well they did.
