New topic for Glow Worms!

This week, has seen the start of our new topic in DT. The children have been fully immersing themselves into the activities. We have learned about different types of mechanisms: levers, sliders and hinges, and made some of our own to find out how they moved. The children then explored a range of objects to see what type of mechanism they used, before making a moving character for themselves. Finally, they tested different materials to see which one would be best for a Christmas card. What busy afternoons they have had!

In maths, the children have been finishing off our addition and subtraction unit. They have compared different calculations and revisited writing calculations from a picture by drawing part whole models and writing the fact families. They have worked hard to show off their knowledge.

Well done for another great week Glow Worms!

Next week, the children will have a supply teacher on Wednesday and Miss McMillan for the other 4 days. 

Have a lovely weekend,
Miss McMillan
