SPACE!

Our new topic next term is...


SPACE!

The Tangfastics have the opportunity over Christmas to work on their own Space project in their homework books. This can be from a collage to a fact file of particular planets. Remember you can also visit your local library over the Christmas holidays to help with your space project

You can read all about space here, play a game here, play a quiz here

There is also lots more to do on these websites:

http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/switch-a-roo/en/
http://www.ictgames.com/dayNight/index.html

 I am really excited to see what you all choose to do for your project!

Just a quick remember...each child also has spellings that are their targets to practise. 
Last but not least... The Tangfastics are having an exciting reading competition in the first week back in January! This is on sumdog and children will be rewarded 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize. 

The Tangfastics hope you have a sparkling Christmas

Outside at Christmas...

The Tangfastics have been working incredibly hard this past week writing their very own Christmas poetry!
We have been using similes to describe the snow and all around.
Some of our super similes were:
'Icicles hanging as sharp as daggers'
'Snow falling like a blanket over the roads'
'Snowflakes delicately falling like confetti'

Can you have a go at playing the simile game?
