What do we think we already know?

The Sun is boiling hot. It has lava or something in it and gas.

The Sun is made of gas and fire.

Day and night are the same length of hours.

There are 12 months in a year.

The Moon is a giant lump of rock.

The Moon has bumps called craters.

The stars, Sun and Moon are powerful.

There are 7 days in a week.

Autumn is a warning about Winter and we harvest all our food.

Teddy bear adventure

We had an amazing trip to Dawyck gardens and our teddy bears got up to mischief in the yurt with Edward Bear when we were learning about SWAF.

SWAF is what animals need to survive. Shelter, Water,Air and Food.

 

Here we are making little islands that have SWAF and everything that animals need to survive.

Measuring

We took our measuring outdoors and here we are measuring with our feet. ( Non standard units )

As you can see in the picture we all have different sizes of feet so we would come up with different answers.

Next week we need to use centimetres and metres so that we all get the same answer. ( Standard units )

The Chocolate Rooms map

As part of Roald Dahl Day we made up our own designs for The Chocolate Room. We made lots of twisty-turny tunnels and it was fun drawing the maps in 2D.

I like the sound of the Sweet Sea and the Lollipop Trap rooms. This would be a very exciting map to follow.

The challenge now is to Program the Beebots to follow your map.
