Knowledge Organisers
In Orange Class, we will be learning about 'Living Things and their Habitats' in Science, 'Greece: A Mediterranean Country' in Geography, and 'What spiritual pathways to Moksha are written about in Hindu scriptures?’ in RE. Please take a look at the knowledge organisers for the key information the children will be learning about in these subjects.

| Creative Christmas Decorations |
To consolidate our sewing skills as part of our DT unit, we made some beautiful Christmas decorations.
| Messy Mixture Separation |
In our science lessons, we've been learning about different materials and how to separate them. We applied our knowledge to separate a variety of different mixtures, which ended up becoming quite a messy endeavour!

| Incredible Imperial War Museum |
As part of our history learning on World War 2, we took a trip to the Imperial War Museum, Duxford. It was an amazing day out where it really brought to life what it would've been like to have been part of the war, particularly for those involved in the Battle of Britain.

| Fantastic Freeze Frames! |
Our guided reading text for this half-term is Shackleton's Journey. After reading about many of the perilous situations that Shackleton and his crew ended up in on their expedition, we freeze-framed on of these situations. When we shared our freeze-frames with the class, different characters were brought to life to share how they were feeling and how they got into the situation.
| Investigating Insulators! |
As part of our science topic on 'Properties and Changes of Materials', we were given the task of investigating the question 'Which cup keeps liquid the warmest for longest?'. We were given the choice on how to investigate the answer to this questions, so some of us used cups made from different materials, some of us used different materials wrapped around the same type of cup, and some of use stacked cups inside each other.
We then carried out our experiment to answer our scientific enquiry question. We used thermometers to accurately record the temperature of the liquid in each cup. Once we'd recorded all our data, we were able to draw a conclusion and explain which cup kept the liquid warmest for longest, and therefore was the best thermal insulator.
