This month the children wrote stories based on the Pixar short movie 'Partly Cloudy'. The movie saw Gus the cloud making dangerous, scary babies and his poor friend Peck the stork having to deliver them. The children initially came up with words to use in their writing under the question headings where, what, when, why as well as create character descriptions and tell feelings the characters experienced in the movie. We began the writing process by writing key words using a story mountain writing frame. Following this, the children wrote their stories. Here are a few examples of their work.

For science this month we looked at how materials change. The pupils looked at the smell and texture of the two materials we used, baking soda and vinegar, and made predictions on what they thought would happen when we mixed the two together. The results were explosive! The children then wrote reports on this. The children can't wait to try this at home!
