Inventors – what we know already!
We are going to be learning about Inventors in block 2. Here are some of the things P4 know already about Inventors:
Inventors are people that spend weeks/months/years creating cool technologies for people that need them
Someone that invents things like computers
Invented by my mum
Make new/exciting things
Work in factories
God invented the world
Alexander Fleming invented penicillin
Inventor who made medicine for smallpox – Edward Jenner
Medicine was invented
Everything has been invented except for nature
Digestive biscuits made as people were choking on other biscuits
Xbox was invented by Microsoft and Ps4 by Sony
If we didn’t have inventors we wouldn’t have beds, shops, toilets, lights, heating, phones
Animals evolved so they invented new animals
Inventing has been around for 100s of years
Discovered is different from invented
Mental agility – addition
We are looking at mental addition this week and we are trying to get quicker at recalling our number bonds to 10/20. This is a great website where we can reduce the amount of time we are given to answer questions. How quickly can you get ten out of ten?
