Our new class topic is chocolate. We began by writing ‘I wonder’ questions of things we want to investigate about chocolate

We have been looking at food chains with the cocoa bean as the producer

And writing about Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Room

We have been using ‘drum sticks’ to find the rhythm.

We have been practising writing vertical calculations.

We were describing Shreks Swamp this week. We made pictures using paint, sponges, coloured pencils and tissue paper.

We have been working on drawing a map of our writing using symbols and pictures before writing. We orally told a partner our description of the setting before writing it.

We have been comparing fashion in Ancient Egypt to present day.

We were given pictures to discuss in groups. We made notes on things we noticed about Ancient Egyptian fashion.

Then we made pictures of ourselves in present day clothing and Ancient Egyptian clothing. We had to select the correct fabric, trace around the stencil, cut and stick.

We are continuing with vertical calculation, some of us have been pictorially writing calculations with tally marks.

Outside we created a number line from 1 – 10. We had to measure objects in our surrounding and collect one for every number. We found so many objects ranging from 1cm to 10cm and beyond.

We were given specific measurements to make our rockets, we had to use a ruler accurately to make them. 

Then we used salt, glue and paint to create our fireworks.

This supported us during our writing to describe the story setting.

We do an active spelling task everyday, look at all the words we have made!
