P1k Learning Reflection for week ending 27.4.18
Weight
Nathan – if we put two shells the same in each one then the scales are the same
Holly – if the arrow points in the middle you know it’s the same
Sophia – We are measuring the weight
Maddie – in ‘snake and cake’ we changed the shape
Sophie – They were the same shape and weight at the start, when we changed the shape they were still the same weight
Emma – We had lots of feathers and the 1 stone was heavier
Sophia – Stones are heavy and feathers are light
Enchanted Forest
P1k are busy turning their classroom into an Enchanted Forest to help save Fairyland. They have decided the first thing we need to make is a huge tree! We explored textures around the classroom and school grounds, collecting crayon rubbings from the different surfaces, some were: bumpy, smooth, patterned, rough, prickly, dented, soft and fluffy. The children then worked on their cutting skills to cut the crayon rubbings into leaf shapes, this was tricky because the children were trying to cut a curved shape and not a straight line!
Holly – We made the pictures have patterns
Nathan – Some things are rough
Maizy – the pattern on the lap top trolley had lines
John – it made stripes
Sophia – The ground made a dotty pattern, the ground is rough
Andrew – The lego felt bumpy and made a dotty pattern
Rayyaan – the wooden bench made lines
Comments on using scissors safely and trying to cut a curved shape
Maizy – you had to concentrate on not going straight
John – don’t run with them
Emma – walk with them
Nathan – with the sharp bit at the bottom and your hand on them not with the sharp bit at the top
Aakruti – you have to hold them properly
Poppy – Put them down on the table when you collect your scrap paper
Sophia – you can put them in their cubby when you are finished
