Over the last few weeks we have been looking at the Water Cycle. Today we went outside and created models of the water cycle using natural materials and tinfoil as the water.
Have a look at what we created!
At the beginning of term we headed outside to create diagrams of the human body including the vital organs. We worked in teams to draw life size sketches. It was important that we worked together and discussed who was doing what in our groups. We found it hard as everyone had their own ideas and some started drawing without planning before hand.
When we evaluated our diagrams, we realised that the most successful team was the team that chatted about their plan first before putting chalk on the ground!
In 7.27 we have been learning about the properties and parts of a circle.
We investigated how to calculate the radius, diameter and circumference and took note of our formula.
Then we cut out some circles, found the centers and used our formula and rulers to find the radius, diameter and circumference of each one.
Finally we were taught how to use a compass and we were given an extra challenge task to do. We had to draw circles with specific radius and diameters given. This was tricky but we were able to persevere and tackle the problem!
We then got to colour in our circles and add some snazzy designs.
We self-assessed our work to show something new that we learned and colour coded it to show our confidence level.
Maths is fun!
Today we had a big breakfast in our classroom.
The reason we had this big breakfast is because we are raising money for the stv appeal to help children in poverty.
Our breakfast included muffins, brioche buns with jam ,butter, milk, cereal and fruit. Thank you so much to the local shops who donated food to us.
We have been researching and making PowerPoints all about poverty in Scotland and we found out that 220 000 people live in poverty and often have to choose between heating their homes or eating.
In 7.27 this has really made us think how lucky we are and we hope to have raised some money to add to the £19 million that the appeal has already generated in the past 8 years.
We hope you enjoyed the pictures and reading our first blog post.
