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!!

Sources

May 12, 2016Uncategorizedgroup work, social studies, sourcesUser deactivated

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.

Electrical Circuits

We have been learning all about Electricity and how it works. We learnt last week about conductors and insulators, and electrical circuits. Today we learned about the components of a circuit, their symbols and we made our own circuits. We were able to get a bulb to light and a motor to run using battery electricity.

Xmas Enterprise

Primary 4 have chosen to create personalised Christmas baubles to sell at the Christmas Fayre this coming Saturday.

We voted for the business name ‘Bibbidi Baubili Boo’, created by Sian S, and decided on the teams that would make it successful.

There is the Design Team, The Sales Team, The Media Team and the Manufacturing Team.

We will all be in the Manufacturing Team but had to apply for jobs in the other team of our choice.

Today we met with our managers to complete tasks we put in our business plan on Thursday.

The Sales Team successfully sourced the cheapest baubles to buy to help us make a profit, the Design Team have given lots of ideas to their manager but have still to decide how the baubles will look and the Media Team concentrated on making posters to advertise our Enterprise.

We can’t wait to get started on the baubles!

Whilst learning about Mount Everest we found out about something called Bigfoot or a Yeti. We were so intrigued that we wanted to find out more about this myth or mystery and did some research of our own!
