We worked in groups to try to create an exact copy of a poster about the polar lands.
We had to fill in the information on our poster.
Luke-I liked doing my mind mapping because of all the stuff you have to remember.

Healthy Eating
We have been learning about the Eatwell Plate. This has shown us the different categories of food we need to eat in order to have a healthy balanced diet. We also looked at how much of each food we should eat. We made our own eatwell plate.
Ava-I enjoyed coloring in and drawing the eatwell plate.
Programming
We have been learning that algorithms are a set of instructions we use to program a computer.
We programmed a beebot to make it go in different directions and we programmed Unit the robot on the computer. We had to think of the algorithm to make it burst balloons in a particular order. We could debug our program as we went along.
Archie- I really enjoyed moving the person around because it helped with my computer skills.
Isabella- I enjoyed the programming side of things a lot.
Tiling Patterns
LI: To learn what shapes will tile
We found out that only shapes with straight edges and corners will tile.
We made different tiling patterns on the computer and by colouring patterns.
Scots Verse
Well done to the class for working hard to learn Donald Where’s Yer Troosers and to make up actions for the song. They all worked really well together and performed enthusiastically for their parents and visitors.
Peter and the Wolf
In music we listened to the story of Peter and the Wolf. There were different instruments for each of the characters in the story. We had to identify each of the characters, by holding up a story card, when we heard their instrument. We could work out what was happening in the story by how fast, slow, loud or quiet the music was. It was quite exciting, especially when the hunters chased the wolf.
Nouns, Verbs and Adjectives
LI: To recognise nouns, verbs and adjectives
We have been learning that
- nouns are naming words
- verbs are doing words
- adjectives are describing words
We had to act out lots of words that are verbs, such as jumping, hopping, running and whispering.
We also identified them in sentences.
Time
LI: To tell the time
First we made our own clocks so we could use them to help us tell the time.
We have been learning o’clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to on both analogue and digital clocks.
We are really good at telling the time on analogue clocks and found it easy to convert it into digital time for o’clock, quarter past and half past times. We found it much trickier to change quarter to times into digital times. We will keep practising.
Volume
LI: To measure volume in litres
We used different sizes of containers to work out which ones held one litre, more than one litre and less than one litre.
We used a measuring jug to measure amounts.
We learned that the amount of space a liquid takes up is called volume and the volume is measure in litres and millilitres.
