STEM Challenge

On the 26.9.17 we took part in a STEM challenge where we had to balance a marshmallow on a spaghetti tower for 30 seconds.

We had the following:

• About 200 pieces of spaghetti for each group
• tape
• 1 marshmallow

Every group had completed it successfully and 1 group’s design looked like a bonfire!

We had great fun doing this and then on Thursday night there was an open evening where our parents came in and did it with us.

Buddies

Every Monday we go and get our buddies then take them to different classes we mostly do reading with them but we do tons more like maths, sequencing, and of course reading. Our buddies were really shy at first but then they were enthusiastic about the activities. They enjoy doing activities with us so much. My little buddy always tells me she can`t wait until Monday.

Spy Journals

Our topic this term is Alex Rider Storm breaker. So with Mr Gough, we made a spy journal or a magazine. We had to make them colourful and created our own gadgets.  Whether it was a lipstick Taser or a private jet. We folded them to look like a leaflet we also had to make a portrait of a secret spy agent. We got to do what ever we wanted on the back, as long as it was eye-catching and spy related!

Numeracy Week

On Tuesday the 29^th of August Bella’s mum (a professional cake maker) came into our class to tell us about how she uses maths to make her delicious cakes. She told us about people asking her if she could make a cake for 60 people so she has to do lots of multiplication to make her customers happy. Finally, Bella’s mum gave us a great cake to eat.
