Hi everyone!

It was great to hear that everyone had a lovely holiday. Sounds like a lot of us went on great adventures and did lots of exciting things! It is great to have everyone back.

As it is approaching Halloween, this week we discovered our inner witches and wizards and took on our roles very seriously. We had to create our own witches brew in our mystical, magical forest. All the children did amazing at finding a specific location for their cauldron and were able to explain why they put certain ingredients in their cauldron and what their potion did! We had turning into zombies and vampires, creating the most powerful wand (lots of Harry Potter fans!) and a couple of their potions could do anything in the world! We also had lots of fun finding our wands and casting different spells.

The children had a fantastic time releasing their inner witches and wizards and I am so impressed with their creativity! 🙂

Hello everyone!

This week in science we were continuing to learn about forces and were introduced to the magnetic force.

We created our own hypothesis on which objects would attract and repel to a magnet. Then we experimented whether we were correct in our predictions. The children loved exploring magnetic forces and were able to explain the differences in magnetic fields and why different objects either attract or repel. We also discovered our committee badges are magnetic which created great excitement!

Then we created fishing lines with our magnets once we discovered paper clips attract to a magnet. The children worked very well in groups tying the string to the magnet to create their fishing lines. We all had good fun playing common word fishing with our magnets!

Hope you all have a lovely October week, it sounds like we all have very exciting plans coming up! Looking forward to hearing all about it when we come back 🙂

Hi everyone!

We have had a lovely week. It was maths week! So as a class, we did lots of different things that related maths to real life contexts. Such as, counting how many leaves, trees, rocks, sticks and puddles (mucky mud) in woodland. We also clapped to the beat in different songs and took part in the cha cha slide, which told us what direction to go in.

Have a look at what we enjoyed most about maths week 🙂

Isla – Use maths to help you with the speed limit (I am also happy I got into the eco committee)

Jura – I use maths in motion when dancing and thinking of what moves I can do

Penelope – I liked using the microphone to talk about maths in motion on stage

Olivia Y – I use maths in motion when dancing and clapping the beats

Eva – I use maths in motion when dancing and clapping the beats

Kate – You can use maths in ballet

Olivia W – I liked using maths in dancing

Harry – Riding a bike because you need to see where you are going to pick the direction

Jovie – You can use maths in motion in golf to count how many hits you do

Ryan – Football pitch you need to kick in a straight/backwards/left/right direction. Look for the goal to see the direction

Carson – I use maths in football to tell your team which way to go, make sure they are in a space to pass to them

Aaron – I use maths in tennis because you count how many hits you do

James – I use maths in dance and freeze to count the beats

Ruraidh – You use maths in the register to count how many people there are

Christopher – I used maths when dancing and clapping to the beat in class

Ismail – I used maths when dancing and clapping to the beat in class

Hugo – I use maths to count how many blocks I need when building. Or people can count bricks when building houses

Oscar – I liked going up on the stage to talk about maths in motion with Penelope. I also liked doing the dancing to the cha cha slide because it gave me directions

Yahya – I used maths when dancing and clapping to the beat
