This morning we worked in trio’s, each person had their own job. We chose the roles in our own groups based on our strengths. The choices were Recorder, Reader and Manager. We had to read every word in the passage in order to find and replace the silly words with sensible words. Abby found it particularly funny as her prior knowledge meant she knew that Polar Bears did not, in fact, eat crisps! We discussed the skills needed to complete this task and shared our answers at the end.
Today we went to a cluster handball festival at Whitburn community centre. We joined Whitdale, Longridge and St Josephs.
We formed 3 teams. We were called Canada A, B and C. Each team played 3 matches. Each match lasted 4 minutes.
We had to make 3 passes before we were allowed to shoot and could only take 3 steps if we had the ball. It was very competitive.
We used our teamwork, attacking and defending skills to try and score in each match.
Canada A won the matches on court 1.
We are hoping to start a handball club in school as we really enjoyed it.

The right to good health, food, water and a clean environment
As part of our natural disasters topic we have been learning about volcanoes.
A volcano is formed with 2 tectonic plates push together – Tyler.
An eruption happens when magma is pushed up through the main vent and comes out of the crater. It is then called lava – Matthew.
We have made 3D models of volcanoes using paper mache. We discussed the criteria we needed to follow.
We had to work as a team to ensure that we completed it. We used different techniques to create the volcano shape. We ripped pieces of newspaper into strips and soaked them in a watery glue.
We then needed to paint them.
Once they are dry we are going making our own volcanic eruption. Watch this space for how we get on.
