Rebecca brought in a special instrument which the the Victorians used to view pictures. It is called a stereoscope.
It helped to magnify the picture, so we could see it more closely.
We all queued up to have a view.
A big thank you to Rebecca’s Mum for letting us keep it for the week.
Today the farmer John Ritchie came to our school and helped us plant our potatoes.
He told us all about growing potatoes and we were able to ask him a lot of questions.
We then went out and planted two of our potatoes in our grow bag. We weighed them first of all and we will compare this weight to our final crop. We have also planted potatoes in different pots, so we will see them at different stages of growth.
John also split the children into 2 teams and they will have their own competition to see whose potatoes grow the tallest.
Thanks to John for coming to our class and helping us plant our potatoes.
We had great fun learning about forces today. We learnt about different forces including pushing, puling and friction.
We made sure our test was fair and measured how far different toy cars travelled down a gradient.
We also learned how to measure accurately with measuring tapes. We found out that the car with the smoothest, loose wheels travelled the furtherest and the heaviest car with the thick treads went the shortest distance.
Check out the game and quiz here.
We were skipping today and were learning to run in and certain songs. We sang Jelly on the Plate, Sweeties in the Jar and Sausages in the Pan.
We also learned I am a Girl Guide/ Beaver Scout Dressed in Green. More old songs will be taught over in the next couple of weeks.
Well done to Noah, Carly and Sandy who skipped well in my group today. Well done to the children who also gave a go at running in!
We have been learning about Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. She was a very famous Victorian.
We read about her and then answered questions on her life.
We also made paper dolls of her.
To recap about Florence, visit this website and play the game about her.
Look how our potatoes are doing! They have began to chit.
Next Wednesday the farmer is coming to help us plant them outside.
Poor Victorian children could not afford dolls to play with, so they would make ones from clothes pegs.
Hope you like ours. We are also making a toy theatre, so we can do little plays.
