We will also be having our own science week after half term (week beginning the 20th March)- Each Keystage will be setting up their own science fair- there will be a science evening in school and all our classwork will be set around science for the week.
Need some ideas for what your science afir stall could be all about? Take a look at some of the ideas on the websites below! I've also included a video from Steve Spanglers "Sick Science" site on youtube- the last link is to the same site!

Want ot get ahead? Look at the topic overview at the top of the page and see what you can find out about some of the things that are on there- especially information about the explorers Francis Drake, Walter Raliegh and Ferdinand Magellen.
Keep up with your coding- there's a link to the sign in for code.org on the page for the autumn term. You'll need it for what we are doing in computing over the next term!
If you go to the maths page you will see that I have removed the games and videos for most of last term and replaced them with new ones that will help with some of the topics we are going to cover over the next term- have a go and see what you can do!
