As part of our Science work, we looked at some different liquids and talked about the similarities and differences between them. We made a prediction about which liquid we thought would win the race and reach the bottom of the tuff spot fastest.

We have also enjoyed continuing our work on 'Stickman' and have been practicing retelling the story with actions.

In Maths, we have been thinking about addition and counting how many we have in two parts altogether.

We used our iPads to play an addition game and find one more than a number. [Click here] to play the game or click on the photo link below.
