Colons and a happy classroom

Ingredients to make a happy classroom

Rowan learnt how to use colons in a list today. Lots of fantastic ideas about what is needed to make a 'happy classroom'.

It's a great big solar system! (RRS)

We've been learning about the Solar System and making up mnemonics to try to remember their order! Then we worked out a scale so we could draw all the planets on the play ground.

Compare the sizes of Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars to Jupiter.

We've had an amazing start to the term! This week we have written about our best holiday moments, thought about numbers in the millions and started our topic " Out of this World " brainstorming about space and imagining and describing aliens!
