We have made some delicious pastries for our shop window display and created a supermarket in the classroom where prices are still reasonable. We have been doing lots of practical activities with money and I am sure we are going to make some good investments in the future. Our circus skills have improved, especially balancing. We have enjoyed two weeks of orienteering at Druridge Bay and Plessey woods, the children are loving exploring the environment and working well on their basic skills of orienteering such as map reading, navigation and direction.
The children have been working on creating a remembrance day garden in outdoor learning lessons. We made poppies for our remembrance garden and also ate some beans out of a tin can and listened to some old music . We also had a minute silence next to our remembrance day poppies.
This week in class 4A we have followed the journey of Charlie Bucket and the other golden ticket winners to the Chocolate Factory. We have become inventors and created our own chocolate bars and advertised them on posters to help them sell all over the world!
We became scientists and made our own ice cream out of nothing more than some cream, ice cubes and zip lock bags. We even got to taste some of our work and it was delicious!
This week, we have remembered those who lost their lives in the war, and made poppies to say thank you for everything they did for us. In RE, we learnt about Diwali and why it is celebrated in some religions, and we made our own special floating tea lights.
I am looking forward to seeing what marvellous things you can create next week!
This week, in class 3A, we did some spectacular Science! We followed a set of instructions and used salt, ice cubes, cream, sugar, vanilla essence and lots and lots of shaking to make our own ice cream in a bag. We watched closely as we shook the salt and ice in a bag and it turned our cream, sugar and vanilla into ice cream. Magic! We then added our own toppings and tasted our creations, they were delicious!
This week Class 5 have continued to carry out Literacy work based on the book and film ‘Charlie in the chocolate factory!’. We have been learning all about the different characters, and looking closely at the different characteristics each character shows. Class 5 have tried really hard this week with their handwriting, spelling and punctuation. Well done everyone!
This week we went Orienteering to Plessey Woods, we were able to use our knowledge taught the previous week to help us find our way around. Louis (Orienteering leader) was really impressed with everyone’s skills!
In Science we carried out an experiment of making our own ice-cream.. It didn’t turn out as well as it should of however, it still tasted nice!
