Today, we saw how a simple electrical circuit works. It’s simple because the circuit is a single wire running from a battery to a bulb and back again.

1. How do you think we could make the bulb glow brighter?
2. Do you know another name for a battery? Perhaps you could research this.
3. How does a switch work?
4. Can you explain the difference between and a complete and incomplete circuit?
5. What are we going to do when we visit the Senior School Science Laboratory?

In our grammar lessons, we have been learning about proper nouns. Proper nouns are nouns that name specific, one-of-a-kind people, animals, places, things, and ideas. Some examples of proper nouns include:

• Laura
• Barnet
• November
• Chrisopher
• Microsoft
• Sunday
• Apollo 11

The days of the week and months of the year are proper nouns, and these are all written with a capital letter at the start, e.g. Thursday, January, March etc.

Can you answer these questions and comment with your answers? Thank you.

This week we have been estimating and measuring using rulers and metre sticks.

 

Here are five measuring activities –

(1) How long is a stick of spaghetti? Is it the same length after it has been cooked?

(2) Measure the length of your foot. Then measure the distance between your wrist and your elbow. Compare the two distances.

(3) Can you make your own ruler?

(4)  Estimate, measure and draw lines to the nearest 1 cm, 3 cm, 9 cm, 12 1/2 cm and 6 1/2 cm?

(5) Can you measure the length and width of your bedroom?

 

Comment to let us know how accurate you were. Thank you.

 

Today we travelled back to 1605! We became part of The Gunpowder Plot and followed Guy Fawkes as he planned to blow up The Houses of Parliament!

Today we investigated making 3D shapes. We used the terms ‘faces’, ‘edges’ and ‘vertices’ to describe them.
