The boys and girls in rooms 13 and 14 received a delivery of yummy porridge and a variety of toppings this morning. We had the chance to try a pot of porridge along with the toppings of our choice. Tomorrow we will be taking part in a virtual field trip along with three other schools as part of the Tesco Farm to Fork programme. We will learn all about where oats come from and the process they go through to get to our homes.
We made radio adverts to advertise the opening of our Rainforest theme parks.
As part of work on compass points, we were also learning how to draw maps. We were given the compass point location of various places in the town. We had to use this information to draw maps of the town with the different buildings in the correct locations.
We had to place the school in the centre of the town with a park and college to the east. South east of the school, we had to put a garage and there had to be a farm and hospital to the north east. There is a church in the west of the town, with a restaurant and lake to the north west and shops and a car park to the south west. We had to put a swimming pool in the south and a train station in the north of the town.
Here are some of our maps. Have a look and see how well we managed.
The children in rooms 13 and 14 have been working on their ball skills through a number of possession games. This week they had the chance to choose which games to play from football, kick rounders and dodgeball. Here you can see some videos of them putting their skills into action!
Here in St Patrick’s we have our very own figure skating star and she’s even made a TV appearance! We have a few videos of our superstar in action!
The children in Rooms 13 and 14 have been involved in an active maths topic, where they have designed a new theme park. Today they had to decide on an entrance fee and work out their profit each day for a month, taking into account any expenditure they had. This video shows how well they managed
The boys and girls in Room 13 have been carrying out a practical investigation looking at which chemicals would cause a big enough explosion to lift a rocket off the ground. They experiemented and discovered that when you mix Vitamin C tablets with cola, you can create such an explosion.
