Our Learning Journey
We enjoyed a trip to Carlton Keighley to have a go on the climbing wall. This will help us with our mountains topic and English text, understanding what it is really like to be a mountaineer!
In Science, we are learning about properties and changes of materials. In our first lesson we tested the properties of a variety of materials including magnetism, electrical and thermal conductivity.
We have also been mixing and separating materials, learning about reversible and irreversible changes.
In Computing, we worked on creating our own web pages.
This half term, some of our children were lucky enough to go to an open afternoon to Keighley College. They got to make rockets and had a tour of the college, seeing some of the amazing resources that could be available to them in the future!
We also had a special Hook Morning to launch our Space Topic! We were lucky enough to have a VR visit where we could explore space through virtual reality; we made space dioramas and created nebula artwork; we sketched rockets and made rockets which we will launch during our Space topic!
We also visited Gazegill Farm. It was very cold but we learned a lot about where our food comes from!
