In science, we've been experimenting with thermo-colour paper to explore thermal conductivity in different materials.
In maths, we've been identifying, estimating and measuring angles.
In computing, we've started creating our own vector drawings using rotated and coloured shapes called 'objects'.
In maths, after turning our body to different angles and directions, we made our own spinners to ask and answer questions about degrees of turn.
In science, we have been testing the properties of a range of materials to begin thinking about their potential uses.
