In Literacy this week we have been revising magic ‘e’. We made magic wands and turned our vowels from short sounds into long sounds. We played magic e board games, became magic e detectives and played magic e bingo.
We finished our class novel ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’. We were looking back at the description of the different rooms in the factory. We created a map of the factory and labelled it then we invented our own room. Here are a few of our ideas…..
- The Invisible Chocolate Coin room – when you eat the coins you turn invisible.
- The Gold Chocolate Bunny room – there is a field of edible grass with gold chocolate bunnies that you can eat.
- The Bouncy Bubble room –
- The Chocolate Mine room – you go in here to mine for chocolate with a pick axe. There are chunks of fudge in the walls too. The chocolate all gets sent to a furnace and melted down into the chocolate river.
Well done to N and Z for making a treasure hunt for the whole class last Friday. They showed our value of kindness by hiding little presents for all of the class. The class loved trying to find them and were very grateful. They even made us some maps to help us find the hidden treasure.
Well done to E and K for their achievements out of school. E ran a beach race and brought his medal in to show us. K won a trophy at football.
In IDL we were learning all about maps this week. We practised drawing objects from an aerial (bird’s eye view). We discussed the reasons we use maps and looked at all different types of map. We then went outside and drew sketch maps of the school grounds. We had to try and label the different classrooms which was very tricky. We then used our computer time to explore Google Maps. We tried to find our houses and took a little tour of Linlithgow. We also started to learn about Japan. We made some Japanese fans and had a go at origami. We also learnt how to count to 10 in Japanese.
In Maths we finished up our work on division. We started to learn about measure. We practised using rulers and meter sticks. We used measuring tapes to measure our bodies and even used a trundle wheel to measure our playground. We started to learn about converting cm to m.
It is Fitness Week next week so we are looking forward to getting our sports clothes on and getting active. There is a fitness week homework grid with some suggested activities you may like to try at home.
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Mudd and P2A x
