Science

This week, we have looked at the life cycle of a star and the children have recreated their own life cycle posters from our textbook ‘The Universe’. This life cycle focused on the birth of a star. Your task is to create another life cycle of a star: How a star dies. This can be either created as a poster( one side of A4) and then stuck into your homework books or it can be created as a poster on purple mash. The information sheet has already been stuck in the children’s homework books. Here is some examples of life cycle diagrams for the children to use for their layout.


Lenten Boxes

Children are to make a Lenten box for their chosen Year 1 partner to collect money over lent. Use the ideas sheet to help create your box and bring it in on our first day back.
