Our final half term of the year has finished and what a fantastic end to the year we have had! Our topic was all about 'The History of Flight' and we enjoyed learning how flying has changed overtime. We learnt about Amelia Earhart and how she has impacted the world and then went on to look at other impactful pilots such as Neil Armstrong and Mae Jemison.

For our writing, we have researched Neil Armstrong and written notes about him. We then turned these notes into sentences and wrote paragraphs about his life. We tried to use a range of fronted adverbials to make our writing more interesting to readers. Maths has been challenging this half term as we have worked on our mathematical skills and looked at statistics. We learnt what data and information is and how we can present this in different ways. We then looked at tally charts, tables, bar charts and pictograms.

In science, we have been working on our scientific enquiry skills and continued our learning of skeletons and muscles. We have learnt about animal skeletons and how some species can have an exoskeleton or even no skeleton at all!  

DT has been very exciting as we have learnt about pneumatic toys. We learnt how they work and how the pressure and air can manipulate the toys. We loved this and then created our own pneumatic toys and share them with other children in our class. It was lots of fun! PSHE has been about our bodies and learning about how they can change. We have also discussed how we can stay safe online and how we keep ourselves safe whilst we are out and about.

PE was all about preparing for Sports Day and we practised our athletics skills. This helped us to have a fantastic sports day which we enjoyed in the lovely sunshine. We also enjoyed a dance session from performing stars. We learnt a routine to a popular song and loved performing it to our peers.

We also enjoyed a trip to the Mosque this half term which was very interesting. It was an impressive building with lots of different rooms. We enjoyed a tour around, and they showed us what they do there and why it is important to Muslims.
