We put our new multi functional “hi-tech” outdoor clipboards to good use today. After searching for interesting leaves we spent time recording details about them and then working in teams to identify them too. We took part in interesting discussions and gave constructive feedback to each other.
We also played a mapping game and will continue playing more next week to develop our skills in orienteering.
This afternoon we enjoyed our first outdoor learning session with Mrs Kelly, although the persistent rain meant we all came back inside a little wetter than we went out!
We took part in some warm up games to help us listen to each other and worked in teams to create words using lettered stones before tackling our problem of the day.
Here are some photos of us playing the games and solving the magic square problem together.
In school for second term we have been learning about the planet Earth and the great Pacific garbage patch. To showcase our learning we made some posters, pictures, raps and more. We have learned about gyres and how plastic ends up in the ocean. It is twice the size of Texas and three times the size of France!!!
If plastic is dropped or blows away it ends up in the ocean. This is not good as it can pollute the ocean and animals may mistake the rubbish for food. Approximately the great pacific garbage patch has 80,000 tons of plastic in it!!! It covers 1.6 million square kilometres!

Gyres keep waste circling in the ocean.

In class we are reading a book called Sky Song by Abi Elphinstone it is all about a girl called Eska and she was kidnapped by an evil ice queen .So far the book is very interesting so far we made some predictions about what will happen next some of us thought that Eska ‘s friend Flints tribe would save her but some of thought Flints tribe would accept her. We also made our own maps & book covers!
