Good luck Jason

We earned our stacker cups treat by lining up sensibly, not talking in class and completing our PACT books. Jason bought everyone some crisps and a drink as this was his last day at Northwood as he is moving to Norwich. I asked jason if he could let us know how things are going. He said that he would contact us via this blog so I hope you are reading this Jason.

Titi and Jesse top runners

To help with our science topic in P.E. all the children tested how long they could run using the 'beep test'. All the children did their best and Titi and jesse were just fantastic and were able to keep running and running. Children thought about why they had to stop runnng. Many children felt their legs were getting tired and heavy. Many could feel their heart beating fast and were out of breath. During science we talked about the exercise and did some assessment tasks to see how mch we leaned about movement and skeletons.
We practised our column addition and there was some very good work completed.

Well done shipmates

Today was pirates day and well done for Thomas who wore his pirates hat, hook and patch. We spent a few minutes thinking about how pirates speak and the vocabualry they use.

Afternoon with Mrs Iqbal we started our work on muscles.

In Numeracy we used number cards to generate small numbers that we added together. We changed the order of the numbers to make the sums easier.
