Health and Wellbeing

This week we have been learning some British sign language to look at the different signs for ordering foods.

We also spent some time examining food labels to look at how we can use the information contained in them to help us make healthier choices. We compared the fat and sugar content of different foods to find out which foods were better for us.

In Maths

We have been continuing to work on using information in timetables, looking at converting different units of time to solve problems. We have also been calculating durations of time looking at counting on in hours and minutes to look at how long activities, T.V programmes and events last for.

In Writing

We have been looking at the great caterpillar cake debate between Cuthbert the Caterpillar and Colin the Caterpillar. We looked at persuasive language and how it can be used to encourage us to buy one product over another. We enjoyed creating our own slogans to persuade people to buy the product we were in favour of.

IDL Topic flight

We have been learning more about birds in flight and how different feathers on a bird’s wings serve different purposes. Some play an important role in flight, some help the bird to keep warm and stay dry and others help them to show off or blend in. We did some observational drawings to look at the colour, shape, pattern and texture of a range of different feathers and experimented with layering of oil pastels to create a realistic image and study the detail within each design.

Outdoor Learning

As part of our study into birds and flight we enjoyed creating bird feeders outdoors to help attract in more birds to our school environment to observe and study.
