We have had a very busy week celebrating Neurodiversity Celebration Week, British Science Week and World Down Syndrome Day. It was lovely to see all of the odd socks in class 🙂

To mark Neurodiversity Celebration Week we discussed what this terms means and discussed ways in which we are all different. We learned what our brains help us to do and that we all learn differently and process information differently.

We were asked to colour in the Neurodiversity symbol as part of a whole school competition and also took part in an activity which encouraged us to think about what makes us who we are and how we are different from each other.

For British Science Week we decided to think about Lego. We worked in pairs and completed various challenges with only six bricks.

We had to get the bricks to balance vertically which we agreed was the most challenging.

   

   

    

We then had to make a snake and explored different ways we could connect the bricks to show this.

We also made out own creature and described this to our partner who then had to guess what we had made based on our description.

Our last challenging was building something of our choice, whilst our partner wasn’t look and then showing it to them. They then had to build it back up the exact same way.

As part of our Health and Wellbeing topic about Food and Health, we designed our own fruit salad on Monday with Miss Thomson. We chose up to six fruits that we would like to include in our fruit salad. We were all keen to know which fruits were the most popular so we decided to look at tally marks as a way to record this information.

In small groups we created our own tally charts based on the data we collected. Mrs Agnew thought we did such an amazing job she has decided to display these in the cloakroom. We then presented our tally charts to the rest of the class and read the data from each one.

We totalled up the amounts of fruits we each chose and the most popular were strawberries, raspberries, apples and grapes. We will be making our fruit salad in class on Monday 🙂
