The weather was so lovely during the holidays that I went out for lots of long walks. On the way, I spotted many different kinds of wild flowers.

Remember – write your answers in your Home Learning Journal. Don’t post them on the Blog, as everyone will be able to see them. Just leave a message to let me know how you got on. Good luck!
Thank you to everyone who completed the survey.
When you gather in information it can be called ‘raw data’ like raw chicken you can’t do much with it, so you have to do something in order for it to be used. For instance, cooking the chicken or presenting the data in a way that is readable.
Below is a list of the data that has been collated. Your task is to use the data given and present it in a readable manner. This could be in the form of a pictogram, bar graph or pie chart. Look through the sway below on suggestions and reminders when presenting the information.
Hi Everyone, please find below my video and helpful tips for our Hot Data Handling challenge.
Let me know if you give it a try !
Once the information has been collated we will present the data raw to you. We will post the information in the afternoon, along with support and ideas to help you create your displays of information.
Good Morning Boys, Girls and Families,
Today we will be learning to develop our scientific skills by thinking, asking questions, following steps, discussing and comparing. You will have to gather the materials and follow the instructions below. Before you answer the first set of questions I will ask you to read the material and steps first. If the day is beautiful you can try this outside.
Spring is here and I think we have all felt it (even our noses if you are allergic like me!), the sun hitting nice and warm, lovely flowers everywhere and birds making nests. During this season flowers start blooming and there is a really nice experiment in which we can make flowers bloom!
Let’s Begin!
Discussion Before the Experiment
After reading the materials and steps:
-What do you think it will happen?
-Is a flower a living thing? Why?
-What do living things need to survive?
Materials you will need:
-Sheets of paper
-Water (even a little bit will do)
-Colour pencils/markers
Steps to Follow
2. Cut the flowers on the edges, so it looks moreless like this.
3. Fold half the petals to the inside part of the flower.
4. Let the magic begin. Put them carefully in some water and wait to see what happens.
Discussion After the Experiment
-Was it the same as you thought it would happen?
-Do they take the same time if the flowers are different size?
-Why do you think this happens?
-How is water important to plants?
Read this after you have completed all the experiment.
Science Behind
When you mix a solid (paper, plants) with a liquid (water) a “Capillary Action” (flowing of the water) will take place. This means the water will mix with the paper, the paper will absorb the water, allowing it to flow from the bottom of the paper to the tip of the leaves you draw and because the paper gets heavier with water, it seems it is opening or blooming 🙂 In plants the water will move from the roots up to the leaves or flowers.
How interesting is that? Comment below to tell us everything about it!
Tune in now to see Mr.Mutch and Mr.Reid go head to head in an Ant vs Dec style showdown!
Each week the teachers will be presented with a challenge to complete. Watch each week to see what challenge they take on. You can get involved too, after watching the episode copy the activity and comment how you got on.
You could be featured in the following weeks episode on the leader board. Get the whole family involved and see if you can beat Mr.Mutch and Mr.Reid!
Your teachers have been tasked to use their designated time outside following social distancing rules to complete to jump as far as they can.
Mark off a 5 metre (roughly) running track and then measure how far you were able to jump.
Have a G.R.E.A.T Well Being Wednesday.
Hello everyone!
It’s time to practise our Division.
Click on the Sway below to see some fun and challenging activities that you can do at home to improve your division skills.
Please comment and let us know which activities you have been working on.
Good morning everyone
If your child has a Sumdog account, they will be able to play with Mr Reid and Miss Deans between 12pm – 1pm today.
Mr Reid will be playing – Animals
Miss Deans will be playing – UPDATE – STREET RACER
Each game will start on a 5 minute interval, meaning that the first game will start at 12pm, then 12.05pm, 12.10pm etc.
When selecting ‘Who do you want to play against?’ – Select ‘Class’.
We have added every teacher to each class, so we should all be able to play together!
We look forward to playing Sumdog with you all.
