Rainforest poems.
This week we have created poems about the rainforest. We have used our knowledge from our Geography topic and from reading the story ‘The Great Kapok Tree’ to help us with our ideas.
Authors.
We have been working as authors to create our own story books based on The Great Kapok Tree. We have been so proud of them, that they now have a place in our class book corner.
Water colour pages.
We have written our own stories based on ‘The Great Kapok tree’ by Lynne Cherry.
When publishing our books we have created water colour pages of all the wonderful plants and animals that can be found in rainforests. Our finished stories will be in our class library.

We have been investigating how the temperature of water affects how quickly solids melt. As part of our experiment we used thermometers to measure the temperature. We were so amazed that one of our ice cubes took 40 minutes to melt!
Deforestation
We have been learning about deforestation linked to the Amazon rainforest. Today we have had group debates to put forward all our arguments both for and against deforestation.
Prayer poppies
As part of our Remembrance reflections we created prayer poppies. We listened to The Last Post and shared our prayers, on all those who have sacrificed their lives during wars.
Exploring solids.
In science we have been exploring different solids to find out their properties. At the start of the lesson some of us thought all solids were hard but now we know things like, sand, clay and fabric are all solids too. We tried compressing different solids, pouring them and changing their…
