Hi! It’s me, Ava G and I’m in charge of the class blog this week.

Maths – Shape. For maths, we have been working on 2D shapes and their properties and also angles and lines. We created 2D shape characters and played Blooket to practice our facts about different kinds of angles and types of line.

Homework projects – Mythical Creatures. It was lovely to see all the different homework projects that people had done.

Chocolate! For our Big Question this week, I interviewed Megan to find out what the class were learning about.  “So we were learning about Fair Trade, in particular ‘Chocolate! Fair trade means that farmers get paid more money for their cocoa beans and a fair price as they don’t always get a fair amount of money for what they grow.  We go to try chocolate that was fair trade and we had the choice between different flavours. We then made chocolate fair trade posters in pairs and design our own fair trade chocolate bars. ”

This or That – European fashion. For this or that, we got to sew clothes for dolls based on different European clothing styles.

Thank you all for reading the blog this week, I hope you enjoyed it

BYE!

S’up hommies! It’s Ava T here and I have the power of the blog this week.  Mwah, ha, ha, ha!

Maths – Simon Says. This week we played a new version of Simon Says invented by Mrs A. She gave instructions like ‘Simon says what is 5 x 8?’ Then we had to write the answer as fast as possible. The last one to write the answer or if you got it wrong, you were eliminated. I got put out because I wrote a very wonky, unidentifiable number 5!

We’ve also been practicing our Speedy Skills a lot this week with some of us getting very competitive with themselves.

Writing – Alexander Fleming. We did our writing stimulus about Alexander Fleming and he discovered Penicillin after taking a vacay. We wrote our own amazing discovery stories and scientific reports. We wrote the reports step by step with Mrs A which was really clear and helpful to guide us to know what to do for each part. We were given a topic and time to write about that specifically which helped to us all to keep on track. It was good and we want to do more lessons like that. Here are some samples of the writing from our class this week.

Big Question – The Power to Renew. We have been learning about non-renewable and renewable energy sources. Mrs A challenged us to make our own Sustainable cities by using scrap paper and junk modelling resources. My group decided to make Sydney, Australia and obviously, I had to make a solar-powered water slide. Each group created amazing cities.

This or That. Our Culture Crew task this week was to build a model of a European Monument. We decided to make the Eiffel Tower however, its leaning qualities made us realise it should be called ‘The Leaning Tower of Eiffel’! It is still surprisingly upright (although leaning against the window). Other groups worked with Kapla to make amazing monuments. Can you guess what the monuments are?

I hope you have enjoyed reading this blog,

Ava 😁
