We enjoyed being coal miners today and didn’t realise how tasty coal was!

We each had a chocolate chip cookie which represented a piece of the Earth and drew a habitat which grew on top of our piece of Earth. We then used a tooth pick to ‘mine’ the ‘coal’ out of our cookie.

We compared the Earth before and after mining and tried to put it back to how it was before we dug all the coal out – but it was impossible!

We decided the only way to tidy up was to eat the mess we had created!

The main character in our class novel, Max, is deaf and we have been thinking about how people can communicate if they can’t hear. Our challenge this week is to learn how to sign our name using sign language. Why don’t you have a go?

In our class novel, Max and the Millions, Max makes a tiny model castle. We used 3D shapes to create our own models and even added extra features like flags, crenellations  and draw bridges.

Seren came up to visit us today with some amazing ice cream and explained how she picked a winner. She told us that after looking through all of our ideas she got it down to a short list of 3 and then picked the one she wanted to make. The winner was Allan!

Allan’s ice cream was Chocolate Raspberry Delight.

It took 2 days to make the ice cream as all the ingredients had to be mixed together and cooked before they were frozen.

Seren then delivered our tubs of ice cream and we got to taste the finished result. It was DELICIOUS! Thank you Seren!

We had great fun last week designing and drawing some different flavours of ice cream for art. They looked so tasty that Mrs Stevenson got in touch with Seren at Flower of Milk and she has offered to choose one flavour and make it into ice cream that we can then all taste. Super exciting!!

We have each created one flavour which we had to name, draw and describe and Seren will pick a winner.

The first group of scientists entered the lab this week and had great fun carrying out colour experiments. Thankfully nothing was blown up during these investigations!

We had a lovely time playing games and eating our snacks during our picnic – and the sun even shone for us!
