On Monday, we split into groups of 22 and 23 to start our week without the year sixes.

On Tuesday, we went on a walk around St.Albans in groups of 9 and answered a few sheets of questions on our way round.

On Wednesday, we had our main trip to Aldbury and Tring. Aldbury was a nice village but unfortunatly the weather wasn't as good as we thought. In the natural museum, we toured around it for a while and to finish of we learnt about skeletons.

On Thursday, we went on google maps to see differences between Aldbury and St Albans and started drawing and painting a house from Aldbury.

On Friday, we were finishing off work from the rest of the week and painted our pictures of houses in Aldbury in water colours.

Welcome to the SYCAMORE BLOG

This weeks fantastic blog was created by Abbie and Lucy!

We’ve had an exciting week in Sycamore class and we’re here to share it with you!

Maths

This week it was mock SATS so the year 6’s have been working EXTREMLEY hard on their maths tests. The year 5’s, they have been working in treetops with Mr Gigg.

Literacy

In literacy we have been learning how to create suspense. We read a small story by Anthony Horowitz called "the man with the yellow face". We highlighted the bits that created suspense and explained how they created suspense.  We then wrote our own suspense stories.

Geography

In Geography we have been learning about mountains. We went to the brambles, the new outdoor classroom, and we were given sheets to fill out.  We went to brambles around looking for information about mountains. After that we looked in an atlas for different mountain ranges.

Science

In Science we asked, Does heating or cooling some materials cause them to change? We drew a table of Reversible things and Irreversible things. Then Mrs Gilder passed round materials for us to look at and then…

She burnt them!!!
