This week we have been very busy.
In maths we are learning about 2D shapes and had lots of activities to do based on 2D shapes. We are also learning to add numbers mentally.
As part of our topic on weather, we have been looking at seasons. We learned how to write an acrostic poem about Autumn. It was quite tricky as we had to write AUTUMN down the page and then write something about autumn beginning with the first letter on each line! Confused? Ask us, we’ll tell you how!
We also learned about high pressure and low pressure for LAC and then did different experiments to investigate air pressure. Our favourite was the Cartesian Diver experiment. First, Mrs. Ghafoor couldn’t get it to work. She tried lots of times. Then we watched a video together and worked out what was going wrong. It finally worked! So we all got turns at making the Cartesian Divers. Other experiments involved trying to blow a ball of paper into a bottle – we couldn’t do it even though it looked so easy. Then we created wind by forcing air from a pressure area to a lower pressure area.
We got a visit from |The Scottish Theatre and had an interactive story about Hairy McLairy. We also got book bags from Read, Write & Count. In assembly, we learned about Remembrance Day and held a one-minute silence to commemorate our soldiers who fought for us and still fight to protect our country.
