Chestnut Class

In maths this week we have been measuring. We used measuring jugs to work out how many ml each container could hold. We compared the weight of different objects using the < > sign.  During science we carried out our own experiment to test how far cars would travel and we recorded the distance. Some of us changed the material that the cars travelled on, some groups changed the cars and other groups changed the height of the ramp.  Today we are wearing sports clothes to raise awareness of the Redbourn Fun Run that is taking place on Sunday 20th May. 21 children in Chestnut will be taking part!  We read a poem about called 'From a Railway Carriage' and we became detectives as we searched for the verbs and plural words.  Well done to Oliver who is our Star of the Week for helping others with their learning. Tweet will be spending the weekend with Tommie because he persevered with his reading and maths.  Have a good weekend, Chestnut Class

This week we went to Buckinghamshire Railway Centre.   We went on a miniature railway and saw different Disney characters on the way.   We had a fantastic time and learnt all about trains.   We learnt that coal is made from a fossilised tree and we met Janice the South African steam train. It is an exciting week because we got to meet our new head teacher, Mrs Hinchliffe.   Mrs Hinchliffe is happy, kind and fun – we all drew a portrait of her to display on the board.   Our school is now called Redbourn Primary School and this afternoon we are going to the official opening ceremony of our school – how exciting! Well done to Austin who is taking Tweet home for his fantastic concentration and perseverance. Our star of the week is Ramana for being a kind and caring member of the class – well done Ramana! Have a lovely, sunny weekend. Chestnut Class.
