Today we were investigators and were given the challenge of finding who had stolen the recipe for ‘Fudge Mallow Delight’ from Willy Wonka’s Factory.
We had to use our thinking skills, communicating skills and compare and contrast the evidence we were given.
We had four different pieces of evidence: a letter from Willy Wonka, staff fingerprints, a torn I.D. Badge, a police witness interview and a grid that showed where the evidence had been found.
We all decided on the same outcome, and that the culprit was the oompa-loompa Jonathan Jumblebum!
It was amazing!!
Today we were talking about Primary and Secondary Sources and Historical evidence. We know that a Primary Source is a piece of information or artefact from the time it happened. We know a Secondary Source usually uses a Primary Source first of all. It is a source that has happened after the event or written or made about an event.
We decided Primary Sources were the most reliable.
We have been learning how to measure the area of shapes by counting boxes.
This week we planted some beetroot, carrots, parsnips and spinach. They should grow in a few weeks so that we can prepare and eat them
Our potatoes, rhubarb, onions and leeks are growing nicely. We checked them over and took away any weeds that were growing.
It was finally our turn to put our bird feeders out in our nature garden and playground area. We hope it helps to feed some of the hungry birds who are making lots of noise outside the school.
Miss Iafrate has been handing out Golden Tickets when people show extra effort and respect. If you get a Golden Ticket you can take part in something fun.
We researched Willy Wonka’s fabulous inventions and discussed inventions we couldn’t live without.
Then we created our own inventions using our own ideas of how to make life easier.
We have been learning to calculate area by counting boxes.
We know one box stands for 1 cm. You could call 4 boxes 4 cm for example.
We were introduced to the idea of counting along and multiplying it by counting up.
