This afternoon we were experimenting with the transmission of sound. We have learnt that sound is caused by vibrations moving the  materials around it.

When we tried out our string telephone experiment, there were some variables (things that could be changed) which affected how clearly we could hear.

We learnt about Alexander Graham Bell inventing the telephone in 1876. Ask me what the urgent first words were that were spoken over the telephone. Hopefully everyone can remember, but here is the beginning of the message. “Mr Watson! ………………….! Mr Bell had just spilt battery acid on his trousers!

We had fun today using the number generators to make numbers. We had to listen carefully to the number to think about how many digits/ how many places, which digit had to go into which column and was 0 neede to hold a place!

In ICT we all managed to access our Activelearn and Sumdog accounts, so hopefully everyone remembers how to type their name and woodlands( no capital letters and no spaces).

Continuing our work on ball skills we were thinking about the best type of throw and the power needed to throw and catch around the circle successfully. We tried a bean bag too, to explore how we have to adjust our throwing and catching skills when using different equipment.

Please could everyone try to acces their Activelearn and Sumdog accounts. Thanks.

In French we were revising the names for some pets and then matching the correct name to the correct animal.

If possible, please could everyone check that they can get onto their Activelearn account. The first 4 letters of your first and last names put together without a space, then  woodlands and finally, 6kwa.

For your Sumdog account, again, the first 4 letters of your first and last names ( if your last name only has 3 letters, then use those), then woodlands and finally, woodlands2017.

We have been very busy this week. We have written “I am” poems which have been made into a book so that we can learn about one another.

In the photo above we were greeting our partners in French and asking how they were.

Here we are sitting around the campfire and adding parts to a story.

This is P4 on the daily mile, getting some exercise and having a chance to “pick up the pace” if they wanted to.

In PE we learned a new warm up game called Fish, Chips and Peas which we all liked. Then we demonstrated our great throwing and catching skills when we played team games. We are revising what we know about numbers and place value and have been putting 1, 2 and 3 digit numbers in order!

This afternoon we made our own gateways ready for display. There were a few tricky moments when the sticks moved, but everyone successfully made their own gate.

Don’t they look good?

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Welcome back, everyone!

We have had a lovely day finding out about our classroom, deciding on our group names:

and deciding on the Articles which are going to be included in our Class Charter.

It is PE first thing in the morning, so please have your gym kit and indoor shoes with you.

It has been a lovely first day and I can’t wait until tomorrow!
