Today we had the excitement of carving a pumpkin and writing instructions to tell others how to do it. We were trying very hard not to miss out any steps and write in time order.

We are so excited today. Not only have we won class of the week, getting an extra 10 minute playtime next week but we’ve also enjoyed tasting our ice-lollies we made yesterday!
I am learning about solids, liquids and gases. Three things I learned today are: I learned that when you boil water in a kettle it evaporates into steam.

As part of our interdisciplinary Dinosaurs topic, children enjoyed exploring the movement of dinosaurs through drama. We had some fierce still pictures of a Triceratops and a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Then we explored two characters that travelled through a hole in time to discover more about dinosaurs. We worked in pairs, sharing ideas and reenacting pairs of the story of ‘The Dinosaur Camp’. Tomorrow we are looking forward to writing our

Today we were learning all about our amazing brains. We designed questions to guide our research and enjoyed using the i-pads and books to locate the answers. We will use what we found out to create information posters. We had fun rotating around brain stations where we got to test each part of our brain and see how well it works. To test our co-ordination we tried to balance a
