This week the children in Team DB have been celebrating the Chinese New Year by wearing something red to school. During the day itself, Team DB explored the story of the Chinese New Year and how each year came to have an animal named after it. Everyone enjoyed discovering what animal it was the year that they were born and, using their maths skills, were even trying to work out what animal their parents/carers were born under! The children retold the story using a story board, and some children even researched the Chinese New Year as part of their home learning. This year, is the year of the Tiger in the Chinese calendar, and the children were asked to finish the picture using perceptual drawing. In Team DB, we have some amazing, budding artists!

Computers
This half term, we have been using 2Code (Purple Mash) to write a code in order to move various objects across the screen. This has close links with maths, and has been beneficial for the children to draw on their mathematical knowledge and skills, in order to write a code and for this to be effective. The children have been able to write a code using programming language and algorithms to create a set of rules. The children have enjoyed experiencing the software Purple Mash and this has been evident in the amount of children continuing their learning at home. NSPCC Maths Day: This week the children have participated in the Maths NSPCC Day, whereby the children had a lot of fun searching the playground looking for clues, turning themselves into Maths detectives. The children had to solve each clue, using the four operations, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. This continued back in the classroom with the children answering various questions using reasoning skills. During this half term, we have continued our learning in Science about Sound. This week, the children have participated in a science investigation about Pitch. The children made their own pan pipes and discovered that the longer the panpipe then the lower the pitch and the shorter the panpipe the higher the pitch!
