This week we have been learning about Position and Movement. Using the Bee Bots and a map of the world, we programmed the Bee Bots to travel using our knowledge of Right & Left Quarter turns and the points of a compass. We were able to navigate the world using all of our prior learning about Climate Zones.
We took our maths lesson outside and worked on estimating length using leaves and twigs (and the occasional slug!)
All the work on position and movement neatly linked into our Reading Comprehension on Directions and the children loved watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN2RM-CHkuI a clip of a family trying to write instructions for making sandwiches. We used the learning from this in our Big Writing this week, the children wrote the step by step instructions and used some great time connectives.
As the Our World Topic comes to an end, the children really enjoyed using the VR Headsets again. This time they looked at warmer climates and compared them to Antarctica. Some of the children even got to see the Aurora Australis.
