Fraction Pizzas
Yesterday, we made fraction pizzas! The journey started on Monday when we designed our delicious doughs and tasty toppings.
Next, it was time to get started!
We worked as a team to make the dough by reading the instructions, weighing and measuring.
Once the ingredients were in the bowl, it was time to mix! This was the really fun part!
Next came kneading to make the dough stretchy like elastic…
… and on to rolling and shaping into a rough circle.
Toppings time!
Ethan C said: “You’ll need to cut the cheese into sixteenths for our group.” After discussing that we would only need cheese enough for a block between two, he said, “OK- just eighths then!”
Talha said: “The best part was mixing the dough.”
The pizzas turned out brilliantly and I hope they were as good to eat as they were to look at. Well done, everyone!

Our new class novel
Today we started our new class novel – Ottoline and the Yellow Cat.
It was so exciting to have a copy in front of us! The artwork is incredible and we can’t wait to get stuck into the adventures of puzzle-solver Ottoline and her hairy sidekick creature, Mr Munroe.
You can find out more information about the series on the author’s website.
(Challenge your child: why is there an apostrophe in “author’s”?)
An electrifying afternoon!
This afternoon, we learnt a little more about electricity. We discussed what the symbols in a diagram of a circuit mean and what the circuit needs to work.
We used the scientific equipment to test in which circuits a bulb would light, explaining why they would or they would not. For example:
“In circuit A, the bulb would not light because the switch is open.” – Phoebe
Next, we investigated different materials to find conductors and insulators of electricity. Can your child remember their definitions? Here’s a hint: we found metal was the best conductor and plastic and rubber were insulators.
We found our circuits could be completed by a Kara- what a shocker!
