World Book Day!

For World Book Day we have been doing lots of activities!

We have had an author visit from Lyn Gardner, the author of the Rose Campion series. We really enjoyed hearing her reading out sections from her novels.

The whole school have been taking part in a ‘door’ competition, where we had to choose a book as a class and decorate our door in the style of that book. Our door is based on the ‘Horrible Science’ books – we did ‘Body Systems’ and designed different bodies to show some of the body systems we all have. Our door is interactive, you can flip the bodies to see each one!

We are also getting to bring in our favourite books and share them with our class, and are going to choose two books that we would like to share with the whole school in a Book Week assembly today.

Tomorrow we are pairing up with P2b to read them some of their favourite books, and we will get a chance to show the P2’s the different doors around the school.

BLOCK 3- a fantastic report by Munro who did this at home. Brilliant Munro!

In class we have been looking at newspapers and highlighting facts and opinions and it has been a lot of fun. We sometimes highlighted big chuckes for opinions and then when we finished doing our highlighting we filled in some questions. For our homework we did tables square to fill in but the fun part we got to pick out a news paper story and bullet point facts.

We have also been doing are rights and responsibilities as a child here are a few examples.

You have a right to a shelter house. You have to respect that.

You have a right for a good education. You have to not waste it.

You have a right to stay with your mum and dad. You have to appreciate them.

You have a right not to be forced to join the army. You have to stay out of situations with the army.

In maths we have been doing dividing I am proud of my self because I tried my best in maths.

In art we have been doing printing and Mrs Harrison and Mrs Finne both showed us a way to print (not from a printer)

MONDAY 27th MARCH

What do we know about our new topic?

We looked at the E’s and Os we are going to be covering for topic next block. In groups we had to think about:

I can find out how a sensory organ is made up and what it does, and how the organ responds to outside conditions.

What do we already know?

keep you alive, heart, lungs, kidneys, stomach, spinal cord, heart pumps your blood, our lungs help us breathe, our skin is an organ, most of them are in our stomach

What do we need to learn?

which sensory organs we need to be safe, where in the body are they, what is a sensory organ,  how will our organs react to illness/body conditions, how is a sensory organ made up, what do they do, how do they respond to outside conidtions, how does the body work

How are we going to do this?

make posters, drama interviewing the organs, diagrams, play games, visitors -doctor/body experts, make a book

Why are we learning this?

to keep our body healthy, to help us in our future in case we get a disease, because we are growing up, so we can look after ourselves, so we know how to be healthy in the future/when we’re older
