The Water Cycle

As part of our learning about the Rainforest we explored the Water Cycle.  We learnt words such as evaporation, condensation and precipitation.  We discussed what each word means and what takes place at each of these points in the cycle.  We created a water cycle in a bag experiment and placed it on our clan window.  Hopefully we will see the water cycle in action.

Money

We have been learning about money.  We have been revising the coins and notes we use, totalling money amounts and making amounts in different ways.  We also created our own shops with items and prices displayed and went shopping in each other’s shops, recording items we would like to purchase, noting their cost.  We discussed totalling amounts and starting with adding the pounds first and then the pence finding that this was an efficient strategy to use.
