Grid References
Today we created a grid that showed Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. – Heather
We used people to show direction and movement. – Sophia
We learned about compass points and looked at how the sun helped us to see which direction we were facing. – Lewis
In our grid we used letters and numbers to show the x and y axes. – Holli
Position & Movement
We have been learning about positional language and how we can use clear instructions to help us move from one place to another. We worked with a partner to use directional and positional language to instruct each other how to successfully reach another point of the playground. We had to carry out quarter turns, half turns, full turns, take forward steps and side steps. Our instructions had to be very clear as to which direction we had to take. We used language like clockwise, anti-clockwise, forward, back, to the side and stop.
It was a lot of fun!
Outdoor Learning
Today we planted rhubarb. We will nurture it and watch it grow then in a couple of weeks should be able to eat it.
We checked on our onions and leeks.
An experiment we did showed the onions we grew in class had very small roots but long stalks, where the ones we grew outside have very small tips but huge long roots. This helped us to see the difference sunlight makes when growing onions.
