Over the course of the week we have done a lot of fun things. Probably the most fun thing we did was in science where we got a battery pack, battery, wires, a light bulb and a light bulb stand. Miss Orchant told us to see if we could make an electrical circuit to power the light bulb. If the wire was not touching the battery pack or light bulb stand it would stop the flow of electrons and the light bulb would turn off. One thing we learnt is some scientific symbols. Another thing we learnt is that electricity is the flow of electrons.
Also this week, one of our maths groups was learning how to calculate rate per second so in PE we made six different stations and timed the rest of the class to find their rate per second, minute and hour. The four stations were star jumps (how many in 30 seconds), short sprints (how many in 30 seconds), commando crawl (how long it takes to go from the top of the hall to the bottom), skipping (how many in 30 seconds), bouncing a ball (how many in 30 seconds), step ups (how many in 30 seconds) and finally step ups (how many in 30 seconds).
In our writing we have started our Personal Study, which is technically a big book report. The book we are doing it on is Oliver Twist since our class have just finished it. This week we wrote the introduction. We had to include the author of the book, the genre, the theme of the book and an overall opinion of the book.
To me the book was great and very exciting. In the writing we had to have a plan which answered the four questions. The personal study is fun but looks like a lot of work!
I hope you enjoyed this blog!
