πŸ”¬πŸ§ͺ Science Investigation in 5CG! πŸ§ͺπŸ”¬

5CG have been investigating the difference between melting and dissolving this afternoon! πŸ‘©β€πŸ”¬πŸ‘¨β€πŸ”¬

They explored what happens to different materials and discussed how melting is a change of state, while dissolving happens when a substance mixes into a liquid. πŸ§ŠπŸ’§

Lots of brilliant scientific thinking, predictions and observations from our budding scientists! πŸŒŸπŸ‘πŸΌ

🌟 Social Skills with Mrs Bowes 🌟

Mrs Bowes has been very busy at lunchtime, encouraging children to take part in a range of guided activities designed to develop those all-important social skills β€” including taking turns, sharing, listening to others and treating each other with kindness and respect. πŸ₯°πŸ€

Lots of fun, teamwork and learning along the way! πŸŒŸπŸ‘πŸΌ

πŸ”’πŸ’™ Making maths meaningful! πŸ’™πŸ”’

We’ve been using DreamBox Maths to support our children as they develop their mathematical understanding. 🧠✨

DreamBox works alongside the children as they learn, identifying any gaps in their understanding and helping them revisit important concepts when needed. Rather than simply giving them the answer, it encourages them to reason, problem-solve and work things out for themselves. πŸ’­πŸ‘πŸΌ

It’s brilliant to see the children persevering with tricky problems, developing their mathematical thinking and, most importantly, growing in confidence! 🌟

Building strong foundations in maths, one problem at a time! πŸ₯°βž•βž–βœ–οΈβž—

3AW absolutely love heading outside at playtime and making the most of our amazing outdoor area! πŸ₯° Whether they’re climbing, exploring, building, chatting with friends or getting stuck into imaginative games, there’s always plenty going on! 🌳πŸͺ΅πŸ›

It’s lovely to see the children using their creativity, working together and, most importantly, having lots of fun! πŸ’™βœ¨

There’s nothing quite like a bit of fresh air and outdoor play! πŸŒΏβ˜€οΈ
