We combined our Muddy Puddle Day with our exit point and spent the day exploring the trees within our school grounds. We learnt the difference between deciduous and evergreen trees, identified the names of trees by looking closely at their leaves and then completed a tree/leaf study. The biggest challenge of the day for us …

To end our length unit in maths, we helped Professor Lockhart measure the perimeter of potential enclosures for his dinosaurs. To do this, we worked in teams to create rectilinear shapes using different lengths of fencing, whilst making sure that the enclosures met the groups criteria. Afterwards, we came together as a class to share …
In groups, we worked out the dimensions and perimeter of objects around and outside of school in order to secure our knowledge of working out the perimeter of rectangles. We talked about the different units of measurements and applied our understanding to the real-life objects that we were measuring.
We discussed how our toy dinosaurs could be sorted into different groups. We learnt that grouping dinosaurs based on their features helps us to recognise which type of dinosaur they are.
