This week we started our new topic from Farm to Fork. We read the story Farmer Duck. This story is about a lazy farmer who told the poor duck to do all the work. The duck was really sad. One day all the other animals crept under the farmer’s bed and chased him away. We will be using this story as a stimulus for other lessons throughout the term.

We learned about different buildings and features on a farm. We then used what we learned to design our own farm on a map. We used a key to show our buildings/objects on the map.

For writing this week, we wrote an acrostic poem on the word ‘Farming’. We used the letters from this word to describe a farm. Here is Jessica’s work:

Fields are on a farm.
Animals live on a farm.
Rabbits hop in the farm.
Milk comes from cows.
Inside is the farm house.
Never forget to feed the animals.
Goats eat grass in the farm.

Yesterday we completed an experiment to discover substances that dissolve. We tested coffee, salt, sugar, flour and pepper. We mixed these materials with 100ml of water and stirred 20 times to make our experiment fair. We discovered that coffee and sugar dissolve whereas salt, flour and pepper don’t.

Have a lovely long weekend,
Miss Bollen and P3b
