In our Olympic Games topic we began to paper maché over the ring frames we made last week in art.  We are modelling the Olympic rings. It will take a few weeks to form their shape and let it dry.  We also learnt about the history of the Olympic Games. They began in Greece a very long time ago to celebrate the Greek god Zeus. The modern Olympics will be held in Rio, Brazil this summer.

In ICT we used our new search engine skills to find three facts about the Rio Olympic Games.  We then typed our facts into a word document.

This week in our science topic we learnt about our sense of sight.  We carried out some sight experiments to see why our sight is important.  One experiment we did was working in pairs, the instructor covered one eye and told their partner where to move their hand so that they could drop a counter into a cup.  Some of us managed to get it in the cup but others missed. We then learnt about the parts of the eye.  We watched each other’s pupils get smaller when we went from dark to light.  We had a lot of fun exploring sight.

Have a great weekend.
