Fireworks and Onomatopoeia

We have enjoyed learning about onomatopoeia and have been using line and pattern to create our own firework pictures. We were very enthusiastic to learn about firework safety and now know how to keep others safe.

Some interesting words we have learnt to describe the noise that fireworks make are: KABOOM, FIZZ and SWOOSH.

Weather

We have been learning about the weather in the UK and Wild Weather as well as how weather impacts on our everyday lives.

We will be taking on the role of weather forecasters to report on the national weather towards the end of term.

We have enjoyed learning how to record the weather in different ways and have done some art to help us learn about the water cycle. We now know that it is a continuous process.

We also had a design challenge to make some windmills. On our first attempt we had to build a windmill with no instructions. On our second attempt our teachers explained how to make it and then we had another shot.
