Today we did a pre-topic assessment on what we already know about the body.

Here are some things we already know…

Keavie – Your eyes can be sensitive.  The eyebrows and eyelashes protect the eyes.

Matthew – Our skeleton is all of our bones put together.  Without our skeleton we wouldn’t be able to move.

Angus M – Bones make up our skeleton.

Max – Messages from your brain go to parts of your body thirty times faster than a bullet train.

Kali – Our hair grows on our scalp.

Jake – Our ankle is attached to our leg.

Jordan – Our spine is made up of lots of different bones.

Angus R – Our brain is an organ.

Bethany – Your wrist is connected to your hand.

Lorna- There are 27 bones in your hand.

Carmen – Your ankle is joined to your foot.

 

We then went on to talk about what we want to find out.  Here are some of our ideas…

Keavie – How do your teeth grow?

Matthew – How does your skeleton move?

Jocelyn – How does your hair grow from your scalp?

James – What are different diseases you can get? How does your body fight them?

Liam – How does your heart actually work?

Maggie – Why do some people have freckles?

Rachel – Why do we need to sleep?

Abbi – How do nails grow?

 

That is a lot of thigs we want to find out. Check back soon to see how we get on.

Today we worked with partners from our reading groups.  We had sheets that had two stars and a wish.  We had to choose a section of the book to read and then  we read to our partners.  Our partners then commented on our two stars and a wish sheet about our reading.  The two stars means something they did well and the wish was something they could do better.

Lewis – Peer reading helps us to focus on pronouncing our words correctly.

Angus R- Peer reading helps you to get more fluent in reading.

Angus M – Peer reading helps us to improve our reading skills.

Jordan – It helps you to know what other readers are like and it helps you to listen carefully.

Kali – It helps you to read loudly and clearly.

Lorna – It helps you because your wish tells you what you need to work on.

 

 

 

Today we were learning how to be safe and healthy around food and not spread germs.

We know to be sensible around kitchen equipment.  Hair should be tied back and hands washed before cooking.  Jewellery shold also be taken off.  Food should be stored in a fridge or a cupboard depending on the type of food.  Raw meat should be kept away from cooked meat.

 

We made acrostic poems about food hygiene to show the rules that we know and follow.  By Ben and Lewis

We tried our best last week and we succeeded in winning class of the week!

Hooray!

 

Everyone was sensible and we got lots of points.

Here we are enjoying our extra playtime on a sunny afternoon!

 

Here we are creating posters about what we already know about measure for our new maths learning.

 

Here are some of our facts…

Angus R – A metre is 100cm.

Brooke- We can use metre sticks to measure.

Ben- You can use a measuring tape.

Jake – The metric units of measure are kilometres, metres and centimetres.

Rachel- There are some we don’t learn in Primary school like inches and miles.

This is the imperial system which was used around 45 years ago.

 

Now we are off outside to use some tools for measuring different things in the playground.
