To kick off our last science case study we are looking at sound.  To start with we looked at and listened to different sounds and then talked about where we might hear different sounds, if it would be a high or low, loud or quiet sound. Then, we made our own cup phones to see if the sounds could travel down a string.  Here we are practicing and testing our cups out.

Moving on from Chromebooks the children then grouped into same topic work groups and used printed information texts to find and identify more information and produced a shared factual information sheet.

I this lesson the children used Chromebooks to research specific information about their chosen topic (earthquakes, volcanoes or fossils).  This will then help them plan and write their explanation text final touchdown.

After looking at the fossils we made in class the other day we then set off to learn the specific steps involved in how they are formed. The children found this very interesting and did some lovely writing about the different steps involved. Well done guys.

Today we made our own working clocks to support our learning of time telling using an analogue clocks. Including key vocabulary, how a clock moves and what the different hands tell us.

Well done

It was great to meet Jeffery this morning. I’m not sure he will be staying with us for very long though…..

Great work girls!

In maths again today we dashed around in teams to answer a series of time related questions, recognising that also day if the week and months of the year are linked to learning about time.
