Today we are looking at the idea of chance and uncertainty.  We are using the words possible, impossible, likely and unlikely.

 

First of all today, we flipped coins 20 times to see how many times we got heads or tails.  We made predictions before we started.  Lots of us predicted that we would get half heads and half tails.  No-one predicted that we would get 20 heads and no tails as we thought that was very unlikely.

Most of us got around half and half with a couple of people getting lots more tails than heads or heads than tails.  This is because there is a 1 in 2 chance that it will land on heads and a 1 in 2 chance it will land on tails.

here are some statements we have made using the words likely, unlikely, impossible and certain.

Impossible

Bethany – I will eat Mrs Rae’s desk for lunch.

Keavie – I will become 50 years older tomorrow.

Josh – I will live on the sun.

Matthew – When I tell a lie my nose will grow.

Taylor – I will  become Ronaldo tomorrow.

Liam – I will blow up today.

Jordan – I will turn into an alien today.

Certain

Max – One minute after 2 o’clock it will be one minute past 2.

Jocelyn – I will breathe today.

Jake – I will go to bed tonight.

 

 

Here is the homework for the next two weeks.

Your reading tasks are on your sticker on your sheet.

Yesterday in art we made tissue paper ice cream sundaes. We had to sketch it first and then put the tissue paper shapes we had cut out and then we glue it in with glue sticks. We had lots of FUN making them. We loved it but it did get very messy.

Here are some names of our sundaes!

Grace- Mixed Delight

Bethany- Sundae Surprise

Chris- Multi Sundae

Carmen- Sunday’s Sundae

This block we are working on possession games.  In possession games you have to keep the ball and try to get it to your team mate without the other team getting it.  When you are playing a possession game you need to be in a space that will let your team mate get the ball to you.

In order to keep the ball sometimes you can turn away from the person trying to get the ball, using your your back as a shield.  You can block the opponent using  your body or put the ball to the other side, bounce it with your other hand or kick with your other foot.  You can also change your pace or direction.

 

We are looking forward to practising these skills more.

 

 

 

As part of our “Breaking the Rules” topic, we have been looking at rules in different areas of our lives.

 

We know that rules are there to help us and can keep us safe.  They make things fair and when there are rules people know how to behave.

Here are the rules that we think are the most important.

Home

Take your dirty plates into the kitchen.

Tidy up after yourself.

Do as you are told.

Do not be cruel to your family members.

Keep your bedroom tidy.

Don’t speak to people you don’t know on the phone or internet.

Don’t leave the house without permission.

Community

No swearing

Don’t ever get into a stranger’s car.

Don’t steal.

No littering.  Keep the environment clean and healthy.

Don’t hurt others.

Don’t vandalise property.

 

School

Work hard and sensibly.

Always put your hand up.

Listen to the teacher so that you know what your task is.

Don’t bully other children.

Always walk with scissors.

 

Now we are going to think about if it is ever okay to break the rules.

 

Over the past two weeks we have had even more Big Maths Success.  These 4 children have succeeded in beating their best ever score.  Learn Its tests completed in 60 seconds for all these pupils and two managed in 30 seconds.

 

Well done you four.  Keep up the hard work and great attitudes.  Nearly time for a new challenge!

Use the correct one for your spelling group.

Your reading diary is a sticker on your own sheet.  Just ensure you are reading around two  chapters of your book every week.
