Apart from the excitement of Sports Day we have also enjoyed meeting children's author Clementine Beauvais. Clementine's presentation really inspired the children to write by making the ordinary - extraordinary with an exciting We look forward to seeing her influences in the Mystery and Suspense unit that we begin next week in literacy.
Today Year 3s made their own Classification display (interactive game) in Science and we were able to video the children playing the game by using one of the new ipads - thanks to Phoebe for being my ICT support, although I think I still need some help in orientation as we had to watch the game with crooked necks!!
Year 4s had a fabulous presentation with Oaks and Acorns today from a local bee-keeper, Chris. We learnt all about how a hive works - did you know the Queen bee never leaves the hive because the keeper clip her wings? We also learnt that bees will travel up to three miles away from the hive, but will always return to their 'home'.
In Maths we have revisited measurement and in particular capacity and perimeter. Next week we will be revisiting counting up and down in tenths. In Science we shall be creating an animal which lives in the Amazon Rainforest using key questions to classify.
Class 3 will continue to learn their songs for the Summer Production. You should all receive a parent mail and hard copy of a letter from Mrs Bowles with regard to costumes for the Production tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed playing the classification game making it. I also liked looking for the mini beasts and looking at them through the magnifying glass and all the pots. I loved making the video about it. I liked making new Amazon Rainforest animals and labelling them. By Jessica
