This week we picked the potatoes we planted last year for our farming topic. We then learned how to peel potatoes and chop them. Together we made potato and leek soup with a special help from Mrs Jamieson. Thank you Mrs Jamieson! It was yummy!

We painted Autumn pictures using autumn colours…red, orange, green, brown and yellow. We included autumn animals and fallen leaves.

In maths we did problem solving in our problem solving trios. We used the strategy ‘draw a picture’ to solve the problem. This involved colouring flags in different ways using only four colours. We had to make sure no two flags matched. It was tricky at first however once we worked out a pattern it became easier.

During topic, we were learning about the invention of the aeroplane by the Wright Brothers. We learned that they faced three problems when inventing: flight, control and power. We were challenged to make paper airplanes looking at the structures of our planes e.g. body, wings, tail and folding. It was a competition to see whose one went the furthest, and Ben won! His was amazing!

Lastly, we had to invent our own food or drink and think of a catchy name and slogan for it. We made an advertising poster to advertise it. It made us feel pretty hungry afterwards!
