Good Afternoon

Let’s look at forces one last time in today’s STEM challenge this challenge was set by Mrs Glidden and you can watch her video on your Learners Journal.

Can you build a ramp ? I used a cereal box but I’m sure you could be far more creative than me 😊

Can you make a small ramp, or an enormous one, or one in between ?

What can move down your ramp ? Does it need to have wheels?

What can you do to make your item go faster or further ?

Finally can you build more than one ramp ? What happens if you join them together ?

See pictures below

Have fun !!!

Remember and post your photographs on your Learners Journal

Good Afternoon Everyone

Today’s challenge comes from Mrs Farquhar. Mrs Farquhar loved Mrs Glidden’s FORCES challenge so much that she has challenged us to use paint, a straw and different forces of blowing to create patterns and pictures. See pictures  below.

 

Can you do it? Have a go and share your learning with us on your learners journal

Have fun!

Good morning everyone

Today’s STEM activity comes from Mrs McNee. Mrs McNee loves to build things and she has challenged us to build a shape but use things that we would not normally use.

You will need

Cocktail sticks or Kebab sticks or Plastic Straws
Peas or Mini Marshmallows or Jelly Tots or Jelly Beans

The challenge is to build a 3D structure using only these items. Can your structure move? You can see some examples below

Can you do it? What about the others that live in your house, can they do it too? Have a go and remember to share your learning with us on your Learners Journal.

Have Fun!
Mrs Olford

Good Morning everyone

Did you try Mrs Glidden’s FORCES Challenge? Did you notice what happened when you blew gently and when you blew harder?

Today Mrs Prentice has a challenge for you using the Dry Wipe or Whiteboard Marker that was in your learning pack. If you didn’t get a learning pack you can use any Dry Wipe Marker.

Have a look at the video on your Learners Journal and try for yourself.

Remember to share a picture of your learning on you Learners Journal.

Have Fun!

Good everyone

Did you try Mrs Glidden’s FORCES challenge yesterday?

It became quite easy when you practiced so she has set us a trickier challenge today. Why don’t you have a look at your Learners Journal and see if you can do this one.

Remember to share your learning with us on your Learners Journal.

Good Luck

Hello everyone

I’ve been listening to lots of stories and I found a fantastic story all about our lives just now and I wanted to share it with you.

Click on the picture to listen to the story

Stay safe and have a lovely weekend. Hope to see you soon

Mrs Olford

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I hope you all enjoyed Sports Day activities yesterday.  We have been collecting all your photographs and will post them for all to see at the end of the week.

We all love reading a variety of books but I do sometimes wonder how the illustrator decides what to draw and how to draw the characters.

I’ve been watching Emily MacKenzie draw her famous character Granville and decided I need to try and draw a Granville for myself.

Can you watch the Authors Live video from Emily MacKenzie and draw your own Granville?

I have used the pen and whiteboard from my learning pack but you can use paper, pens, crayons, or even chalk on the pavement.

Have fun and remember to take a picture and share your learning with us on your learners journal.

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Have you been having fun in the sun?

Earlier this morning I uploaded a video to your learners journal on how to play Roll and Write.

Mrs McNee, Mrs Glidden and Mrs Pitblado have all been having a go in the garden.

Mrs Glidden used water and a paintbrush, Mrs McNee used paper and pen and Mrs Pitblado used chalk.

What did your use and what patterns did you make?

Share your learning with us by uploading a picture to your Learners Journal.

Look out for tomorrow’s Sports Day activities.  Details will be added to your Learners Journal in the morning.

Have Fun!
Mrs Olford
