Today in English we split the class into two groups to have a debate. One side of the classroom were arguing for reindeers to continue to drive Santa’s slay, the other half were arguing for elves to drive his slay. It was fantastic to see the children engage in discussion and we had some brilliant comments for both sides.
In our Topic lesson we looked at the difference between physical and human geography in Italy by using research in groups using our laptops. We got divided into out own little group and then we researched what each different geography was within the country Italy. We really enjoyed working as a team and finding out the difference!

For our Science lesson this week we investigate Thermal indicators and Thermal conductors. We did this by experimenting with hot chocolate in 4 different cups that were made out of different materials. We predicted what we thought was going to be the best option. It was super impressive to see how engaged and interested all the children were.
