Windfarm Trip

Mrs Dougall organised a trip to Whitelee Windfarm. We learned about different renewable energies, the importance of peat bogs and just what it takes to run a wind farm. Our bus tour guide said we could hug the wind turbine to hear the electricity being made.

Coding/TWMTDW

We used our expert knowledge of Shero robots to code a pathway. We used angles to know which way to go. If it went to far, we had to change the speed and time (This is called debugging – Mr C)

We added sounds to each section of our block code. Listen…

Coding with Spheros

We used block programming and angles to code a journey for our Sphero robots. We used our TWMTDW skills. Then we played a driving game which was very fun.

Graffiti Spelling

One of our tasks this week was Graffiti Spelling. It helped us remember our sounds.  We used the corridor because it was so quiet!

Storytelling

We have been learning a new story this week – The Freedom Bird.  We used our Teamwork Makes the Dream Work skills to make life sized hunters (a story character) and decided what a fierce, strong hunter might look like and act like. We used the ideas in our writing.

Phonics

Some of our groups are practising spelling, reading and blending words using SMBBRW (Say, make, break, blend, read, write!)

We are great at it.
