We are now back from the October week.  Hopefully no more ‘bitty weeks’ (That’s a word Mr Fry uses). We have already been very busy and hard at work.

SCIENCE

” In Science we were learning about what energy is.  Energy is like petrol for a car.  Food is energy for a human.  The sun is energy for the plants to grow.  If there was no sun, you wouldn’t have any plants because they need the sun to grow.  Yesterday we had two ice cubes and we were in partners and we did a race and the first one to melt theirs was the winner.  We found the fastest way to melt the ice other than putting it under a hot tap was to put the ice in our hands and rub it.  The heat and energy from our hands helped to melt the ice.  Today we are going to be doing more experiments in Science and to learn more about energy. “

NUMERACY AND MATHEMATICS

“In Numeracy and Mathematics we were learning about 2D shapes but now we are learning about tiling.  We firstly looked at  famous pictures a famous tiller had made.  The pictures were of a black and white dog.  There were no spaces in between the tiles. The tile pictures are clever.  We also looked at a picture of birds made from tiles.  We had to use a template Mr Fry gave us to create our own tile pictures using appropriate colours.  The picture was made up of hexagons, squares, triangles and rectangles.  You cant tile circles because then there would be a space. “

FRENCH

“We are learning to tell the time in French. Mrs Watson has been teaching us.  We played ‘What’s the time Mr Wolf? in French outdoors. It is quite tricky to tell the time in French.  We also finished our art work of the houses where we labelled the different parts of the house.”

LITERACY

“Today in Literacy we were learning about the ‘k’ sound. We are in the Suns Group. The Moons group were learning the same as us.  The Stars Group were learning about words with a magic e sound (a-e)”

“We also did a little writing about what we got up to in the October holidays. It was more like a summary because we just had to include the important details.”
