Science projects due Wednesday 23rd March

Your written homework this week is to make sure you have a written part of your Science Project. Either instructions, a review, an explanation or some information that you have found out about how the Science in your project works. This should be presented with your project or as part of it.

(You do not need to write anything on the blog this week.)

Below is a reminder of the instructions for the projects.

Science Week

During the week beginning the 21^st March, we will be taking part in an exciting Science week.  

On Wednesday 23rd we will hold annual Science fair. If you would like to take part, you will need to investigate a scientific problem or a science question that interests you. Ideally, you will carry out an experiment, survey or test, rather than researching the answer to a question in books or on the internet. You can present your work on up to A1 (84cm x 59cm) paper and can bring in objects or photographs to show the results of your experiments.

The work will be displayed in classrooms on Wednesday 23^rd March, with classes opening at 3pm for parents and carers to come and see the children’s work. Children will leave school at the usual time of 3.30 (KS1) and 3.35 (KS2).

We look forward to seeing what experiments you will bring this year. The projects will be judged by our guest judges.  Judges will be looking at:

- Presentation of work

- Knowledge and understanding

- Curiosity and scientific enquiry skills

Finish the Story

"Charlie, get up! It's time for school," shouted his mother from the landing. Usually he would just roll over and go back to sleep but today was different. Today was going to be amazing..... (100 words)

Also,sorry I could not be in today but this homework should be fairly straight forward to understand what to do! - Mr Goddard

Stories Set in Familiar Places and Science Week

This week we have been learning about stories set in familar places. We have been looking, in particular, at a story called 'One Sweet Too Far', which is set in a school.

Your task this week is to think back to a memorable day that you have experienced at school, and turn it into a story. Remember, this is NOT a diary entry so you must write in the past tense and the third person.

Blogging Task and Art Week - due Friday 26th February

Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age

Since the beginning of term, we have been learning about the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. We have been finding out about the homes, tools, food, clothes and structures that were made by the people that lived during these periods.

This week, your task is to tell me which period you would prefer to live in and why. Write your answers in the comment box below.

Here are some websites where you can find a bit more information;

http://resources.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/homework/timeline.html

I would prefer to live in the Iron Age because the people that lived during this period were much more sophisticated than the previous two periods. The people of the Iron Age had begun to farm vegetables and animals, so they had access to many different types of food. They were also able to use fire, which meant they were able to cook their food in the large iron pots they had made themselves. Furthermore, the Iron Age people had invented soap, so they were able to keep themselves clean, and they decorated their bodies with jewellery. They also had access to much better tools and weapons, which made hunting and fighting much easier.
However, these people had to live alongside the Celts. The Celts were a ferocious group of people who had access to very sophisticated weapons. They enjoyed fighting and this led to many bloody battles with the people of the Iron Age.

Art Week
After half term we will be having another Art Week. Our focus will be digital media and we will be creating pictures of our fears. Over half term we would like you to think about what you are most afraid of and try to find the proper name for that fear. For example, a fear of spiders is called arachnophobia and a fear of the dark is called nyctophobia.
