In Art and Science, we sketched some different flowers and plants. 

In Computing, we used 2Graph on Purple Mash to create our own block diagrams. We chose the topic and entered the numbers into the table and then we generated the chart. 

To celebrate King Charles 3rd's coronation we created some artwork. We thought about different things which related to the King, his family, the UK and London. 

Summer 2023

In Science we learnt about hygiene and the importance of washing our hands. We used glitter (to act like germs) to investigate what works best when cleaning our hands. We discovered soap and water work best.

World Book Day 2023

Florence Nightingale Day

We had lots of fun learning about Florence Nightingale. In the morning, we helped prepare for the trip to Scutari hospital and made diaries, medals to sell, pill boxes and candle holder. After break we looked at some suitcases which didn't have a label. We worked out the owner by looking for clues in the contents. In afternoon, we had different jobs in the hospital. Some were nurses, wounded soldiers and cooks. 

Computing

We have been exploring 2Go on Purple Mash. We selected instructions to make different icons move. 

History/Art

As part of our work on Florence Nightingale, we talked about why she was called the Lady of the Lamp. We made our own paper lanterns. 

We have been planning and writing our own stories this week. The character in the story lost something special to them and had to go on a search to find it. Mrs Collins is very proud of our writing. Well done Hummingbird class!

We read the story Alan's Big, Scary Teeth at the start of the unit.

Spring Term

In Computing, we had great fun programming the Beebots. We used commands to make them move and we used an attachment so the Beebot could draw on paper.

In English, we have been reading poems and we enjoyed planning and writing our own poem about Autumn. We have copied our poems up and are going to make a class book. 

Guy Fawkes and Bonfire Night
