Science with papier-mâché models and a space hopper, and then the snow came...!

Did you know that although the sun is around four hundred times bigger than the moon, it's almost exactly four hundred times further away, making them appear the same size. We made papier-mâché models of the earth and moon, and used a space hopper to represent the sun to show how this works.

We've also been busy writing suspense stories. We based our first story on an extract from 'Little Women' in which pickled limes set off Amy's teacher Mr Davis. Our stories involved characters from Hogwarts, a magical unicorn school and even the inventors of Prime! 

In PE, Mr Marshall has been teaching us gymnastics, including balances, vaults and the ever-popular 'the floor is lava'! In maths, we have just finished negative numbers and are now learning about multiplication. 

And then the snow came...!
