Monday
In the morning we were practicing dictionary skills, learning how to find words and there meanings. The words in a dictionary are in alphabetical order.
During maths we worked on time, we looked at the units used to measure time like seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years.
At the end of the day we had to write on our sheet for the effects that alcohol have on your body. We got a sheet with facts on it. We learned that with alcohol you can’t swim or you might drown we also had to do the affects that alcohol can have on behaviour and peoples feelings. We learned that it can make you paranoid and it can sometimes make you do silly things.
Tuesday
This morning we had stage assembly, we made snack packaging. We also had to design the logos and the company names and the back of it. You had to make sure that it had the ingredients displayed on it. After that we all went back to class for break time. Some groups got new books for literacy. As a group we all did prior knowledge. After lunch it was maths. In maths we did stations for time. One station was with Mrs Wordy using a stopwatch, there were I Pads at one station and a time game at another. On the fourth station we worked with Miss McGregor looking at 12 hour and 24 hour time. After that we had HWB, which means Health and wellbeing. We are learning about different situations and we had to decide if the situations were safe or unsafe.
Wednesday
In the morning we were working on active literacy. The groups who got there books yesterday did metalinguistics, which is finding the meaning to tricky words, and the other groups got there new books and wrote prior knowledge of them.
After break we were working on maths. Miss McGregor introduced duration to us and she was really pleased because we were all so good at it.
Mrs Bokas took us outside for PE today as it was such a nice day, we had different circuits to rotate around.
Thursday
On Thursday we started our Learners Evaluation. We included lots of our learning since Christmas and we included the things we wanted to develop for maths and literacy. After break we had P.E and we were working on gymnastics again. We done this in stations that we rotated around, we practised our balances, jumps and backwards roles and we also practiced putting our weight on our hands at one station. After lunch we had maths and we went in our maths stations again, Mrs Woodward came in to see what we were learning. We worked on the iPads and we practiced our multiplication skills. Miss McGregor taught us some new learning about duration and we completed time word problems. We are getting really good at working out problems in maths.
Friday
On Friday with Mrs McIntyre we started our investigation booklet for science. We looked at reversible and irreversible changes on the computers and we played a game. We were preparing for our science investigation for next Friday. One experiment is about how long it takes to melt ice the other one is if you can expand gummy bears using water. We will be split into half to carry out both experiments
On the laptops we made an e portfolio update about speech marks and apostrophes.
