This week, we've had our photograph taken (we even managed to snap one of Mrs Bell) in front of our new collaborative school display.  Every child in school has decorated a feather and they've been put together to form some beautiful wings!  We're apart...but still together!

Also, we've been learning about the mystery of Stonehenge in topic and we even had a go at making our own version in groups.

What a fabulous week!

This week we've been making Stone Age necklaces from salt dough.  We read about bone necklaces in our class novel, The Boy with the Bronze Axe, and were inspired to make some of our own.  We made the dough, shaped the bones, let them dry and then threaded them on to some string.  Have a look at the pictures below!

It hasn't been the normal Harvest celebration in school this year, but we've still had fun!  Each class has learnt about Harvest in a different country.  In Falcons, we learnt about the German Harvest festival: Erntedankfest (thanks for the harvest).  We learnt how they have big parades, wheelbarrow races and decorated tractors!  We focused on their special harvest crowns called Erntekrone and we drew our own versions.  

We also enjoyed eating a German snack: pretzels!  See vs salivating below!

​Happy Harvest!

We've been so busy this week in Falcon class!

We started ordering and comparing five and six digit numbers in numeracy, check out our photos below! 

We also made some predictions on what would happen next in our class novel: The Boy with the Bronze Axe.  In the story, the members of the tribe were about to have a meeting to make an important decision, so we acted out what we thought would happen!  The results were brilliant!  See photos below.

Another brilliant thing we did this week was making circuits in science.  We have been learning about electric insulators and conductors and are going to conduct our own experiment next week.

Phew, what will we get up to next week?
