During reflective Friday, we listened to the story ‘Jesus calms the storm’. Willows came up with some fantastic answers about who was on the boat and what Jesus did to calm the storm.

Today we have been working on our dividing skills. We have been using counters to help us divide numbers which aren’t in our times tables. Here are some pictures of our learning.
As part of our Science topic , Heat, we looked at carrying out investigations to show the process of thermal equilibrium. We placed our hands in both ice water and warm water.
