Woodland

We were finding insects and looking at them with magnifying glasses. We had a booklet and we used that to find out what each of the insects were. – Jamie

I enjoyed it because we got to find some bugs we did like and some we don’t normally see up close every day. – Isam

Omar and I found a really thick worm and we named him Thick Billy. – Zunairah

As a class, we found centipedes, millipedes, worms, maggots, a woodlouse, spider and we came across a little robin.

Social Studies

Fact, Opinion and Point of View:

A fact is something that is true and we can prove it. We were stating facts about WW2 such as the kids had to practise evacuating at school. – Finn

An opinion is something someone personally thinks, e.g, we were looking at Anne Frank’s diary and she thought there was a long narrow hallway at the top of the annex stairs. This is her opinion as some people may think it was wide and not narrow. – Gabby

A point of view is the way someone sees something, e.g. If there was a 9 on the ground and people were standing on either side, 1 person would see the number 6 and the other would see a 9. – Finn

Air-raid Shelters:

In Social Studies, we were learning about Anderson Shelters which were built from corrugated iron in gardens and Morrison shelters which were made from thick iron and wire like a hamster cage. – Zunairah

There is also another shelter called the communal shelter. This is where lots of people can hide during the bombing raids. These were normally in underground train stations or dug out tunnels in school playgrounds. – Jamie

Zunairah and I made an air-raid shelter with an explosion at the back which looked like a chunky, red star. See 3rd pic down. – Jamie

I was proud of that explosion as I spent a lot of time and effort on that. – Zunairah
