In our PHSE jigsaw lessons, we have been investigating how we can improve our teamwork skills. We challenged ourselves to be build the biggest tower in our groups. We then discussed how this could have been better, and what important teamwork skills we used.

In Art, we have been learning about tones, tints and shades. Over the last few weeks we have practiced creating different shades and tones and sketching perspective drawings. We used all the skills we learnt to create our own perspective painting! 
 

In Science, we have been learning about gravity and how gravity objects have different weight and mass. We learnt that mass is how much matter something has and is measured in grams/kilograms whereas weight is the gravitational force of something and is measured in newtons. we have been investigating contact and non-contact forces. We have been looking at how friction slows moving objects, and conducted a fair test experiment to investigate this!

This week in Mathematics, we have been looking at numbers to 1,000,000! We have learnt about the value of each digit, how many tens, hundreds and thousands are in hundreds, thousands and ten thousands, and use place value charts, counters, part whole models and bar models to show how numbers can be partitioned. We challenge ourselves by creating multiple ways to partition a number!
