On Monday, we went to the forest and we took our boats. We put our boats into the water and watched them float or sink!

 

Most of them were able to float down the stream.

When we got back to school, we evaluated our boats and we took them home to share with our families.

This week was World of Work Week. We were very lucky to have some visitors come into our class and tell us about their jobs.  Our first visitor was a lecturer in TV production.  He brought his camera, microphone, headphones and a bright light.  We made a video of what we wanted to be when we grew up.

Our next visitor was a music teacher called Claire. She taught us how to warm up our voices and then she taught u a song  Look out XFactor!

Today we had an engineer tell us about her job. She told us all about artificial intelligence.  Later today, we will have a visit from a park ranger and also a heart surgeon.  We are looking very forward to these!

This week in writing we wrote a Spring Senses poem. We thought about what we could hear, see, touch, taste and smell during Spring.  We also tried to add in adjectives and adverbs to make our poems more interesting.  Here’s an example:

Spring looks like fluffy lambs running in the beautiful fresh grass.

Spring sounds like bees buzzing quickly around me.

Spring feels like soft chicks sitting in my hands.

Spring smells like beautiful flowers.

Spring tastes like ice cream melting quickly down my throat.

 

We hope you have a lovely weekend 🙂

This week in gym, we did our mile run and Miss Nisanci taught us how to skip using skipping ropes.  We found this quite tricky and we look forward to trying this again next week.

To finish our Titanic topic, we discussed everything that we had learned last term.  Then we wrote about our favourite part in our jotters.  Some of these included; passengers, different classes, different decks and how the Titanic sank.

We wrote about what we did during the Easter holidays. Some of us went on holiday, some went to the cinema, some of us spent time with our families and some of us had some lazy days! We were all able to insert adjectives into our writing to make it more interesting.

Miss Lynch taught us about the new VR headsets. We got to try these out and we loved them! We saw different scenes for example, a shark tank, a volcano and London. It felt like we were really there!

We have had a busy first week back at school!
