We had great fun yesterday selling our Jazzy Jiggly Jelly.
The children enjoyed selling at our stalls. strawberry was the most popular in our market research and this was true, as we quickly sold out of strawberry.
The children were also involved in counting the money.
We went out to the playground to measure the area of 3 chalk shapes.
We used our bodies to measure their area. We were very good at estimating the size of the area.
We recorded the area of each shape so we could look at which shape had the greatest area, and which had the smallest area.
We measured each shape twice.
The first time some of us lay down and some of us sat cross-legged. We then decided that because some of us are tall and some of us are short, we should all sit cross-legged.
We then went into the classroom too do some classroom activities on area and some information handling using Carroll Diagrams.
Even though the weather was not kind to us, (at least it didn’t rain!) sports day 2016 was a great success. The boys and girls made me very proud with their good behaviour and super sportsmanship!
Today we had great fun finding out about the wind.
We went out and marked a compass on the playground and chased bubbles around the playground to find out where the wind was coming from. Today was a cold wind from the North!
We built our kites inside and then took them out to fly. What a great success!! Up, up and away!!
This term we are working on our fitness to get us ready for Sports Day. We are all taking part in our ‘daily’ mile challenge and trying hard to challenge ourselves in circuit training.
Last week we were looking at videos of ourselves doing star jumps so that next week we can improve the quality of our star jumps.
