We had a think about the type of job we would like to do and the skills that we would need.

Later we created a word cloud to show the different careers we could think of.

We have been creating circuits and using symbols to represent them. We predicted what would happen to a light bulb if we increased the number of batteries in the circuit. We then tested to see if our predictions were right. We also learned about open and closed switches and circuits.

We had a guess at the universal symbols and then recorded the correct symbols on our sheet.

We made working circuits.

We then drew our own circuits and asked our partner to state what we had drawn.

We had a discussion about the following question – Should we wear cycle helmets?

Before the discussion we had time to record notes. These notes helped us think about what we wanted to say.

We used sheets with our names on to make sure everyone got a chance to speak and share their ideas and thoughts. We worked in groups of 3 or 4.

We have just finished a block of work on objects and colours and are recapping this week and next week on the days and months to link in with our block of learning on time in maths. We have been focusing on reading and writing in French as well as speaking. Here are some examples of activities we have been doing.

We have started a block of work on time. We went outside to create our own clocks. We cut pipe cleaners to make the hands. We had to think about the size of the minute hand and the hour hand.

We have been working on o’clock, half past and quarter past. Tomorrow we will be working on quarter to.

We came into the class to find a message on our whiteboard. We went into the playground to find Mrs Twit’s eye.

After searching we finally found it! We weren’t impressed with her spelling, handwriting and punctuation.

We then worked with our partners to type a letter to Mrs Twit. We made sure to include all the features a letter needs and asked her some questions.

We were practising our mental maths skills today using the website – Hit the Button. We got 1 minute to answer as many questions as we could. We got to decide which skills we wanted to develop and tried to beat our last scores!

We were proud of our achievements.

We were reading The Twits and making up questions of our own to answer. We also had a look at metalinguistics and contractions within the text.

We used our craft and technology skills to create 3D Roly-Poly Bird from The Twits.

Our wall display!

We have been looking at the book Above and Below.

Working with our partners we used a venn diagram to sort/classify animals.

Once we had placed our animal on the venn diagram we then had a chat about any animals that were in the wrong section and moved them.

Back in class we created our own venn diagrams using either words or pictures.

We then listened to information from the book and recorded some facts in our notebooks.
