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

 We made or Christmas cards today and it was fun to listen to Christmas songs as we designed them.

We had an amazing adventure at Dawyck Gardens. Our teddy bears got up to all sorts of mischief in the yurt with Edward Bear while we learned all about SWAF.

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

Here we are making little islands with materials we have found. Our islands had to include SWAF. Then we had to tidy up and make sure everything was as we had found it.

P2 and P3 received a very exciting letter.

It was from Edward Bear and he was inviting us to join him at Dawyck Gardens on Tuesday 1st October.

It sounds like we’re going to have great fun and we can bring our teddy bears along to join in the fun too!

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 cubes  so that we all get the same answer. ( Standard units )

Our chocolate room maps were too small for the cardboard Beebots. We couldn’t change the size of the Beebot so, we worked out that we had to make bigger maps.

This session has helped us to learn our Left and Right.

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.

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

Rough draft

 Improved design

Completed design

We were introduced to a design brief and ours was to design a new sweet or chocolate and it’s wrapper. we heard part of a Roald Dahl story first- ” Wonderful Mr. Willy Wonka.”

We were really excited about getting our ideas onto paper. Then we discussed it and made improvements on our design before drawing our neat copy.

Keep an eye out for what we do with our designs next week!

Congratulations P2/3 on earning this award; particularly to the P2’s who are being very sensible when they go up and down the stairs each day. Keep it up!
