FIRE!

Our topic next half term is FIRE!
We will be learning about fire safety, how materials change when
heated and about the Great Fire of London.
Here are the questions you have come up with to help direct your learning- 

How is fire made? 

                                Did anyone die in the Great Fire of London?

How can you put fire out?

                                         Why is it dangerous?

           Does everything burn?

                                                               When did the Great Fire of London happen?

Can fire burn bricks?

                                     Can fire be different colours?

                  

                                                                      Which materials burn?

Pizza Making 

As part of our topic on food we wanted to know about how food is made. We researched pizzas doing a taste test to see what makes a good pizza. We also gathered data in numeracy about favourite toppings before planning and designing our own pizzas. 

After learning about instructions in literacy we were able to follow instructions to make pizza dough. We used our pizzas designs to decorate the tops of our pizzas. Everyone enjoyed learning about grating cheese and chopping up vegetables! Finally our pizzas were made and ready to be enjoyed.  Don't they look good!

Numeracy- rounding numbers

We have been learning about how to round numbers to the nearest 10.
You asked to be able to play these games at home so here they are.

Remember our top tips for rounding numbers to the nearest 10:

• Look at the number
• Decide which 2 tens numbers it lies between
• Look at the end digit
• If it ends in 1,2,3,or 4 round down
• If it ends in 5,6,7,8 or 9 round up
