Crew Godley had a little bit of a different challenge today, we ventured out into the forest to see if we could find some dancing stickmen! We had some great ideas and it was lovely to see the children recreating stories with their dancing sticks 💃 🕺
In chemistry we have been recapping the states of matter as well as reversible and irreversible changes. We’ve then used this knowledge to investigate the rate a solute dissolves in a solvent.
Yesterday afternoon we were improving our maths reasoning skills – Miss Mcloughlin, Mrs Rhodes and Mrs Ibbotson are very impressed with our progress!
It’s been a busy few days in MI as we continue our activities in preparation for World Book Day! During story telling week MI created their own story and this week we have created our own front covers and blurbs to go with our creation. We are all so excited to put our story together 🙂
Such focus this morning in our guitar lesson 🙂
Today in expedition, we started thinking about how we could help the Gingerbread Man to cross the river. We began by looking at different types of materials and describing them, before looking at the words, ‘float’ and ‘sink’. We decided that the best materials to help the gingerbread man get across the river would be the ones that float! Next, we predicted which materials would float and which would sink before testing them. We can’t wait to plan our designs tomorrow and make our creations with our grow ups on Thursday!
Yesterday, Crew Hamill prepared their next science experiment titled: “How does the temperature affect the rate at which ice melts?” We had a recap of what we already know about the ice caps and discussed how the ice is melting in Svalbard which is leading to problems in Svalbard and the UK. To understand the impact temperature has on ice, we have started an experiment in which we have prepared three blocks of ice that we will be exposing to three different environments – one in the freezer, one on a table at room temperature and one on a radiator, exposed to a higher temperature. We made a prediction that the ice at a higher temperature will melt at a faster rate than the ice in the freezer. We cannot wait to complete our experiment to see if we are right!
In Nursery, we are loving getting our body moving when doing the wiggle dance by DannyGo. We are practicing good listening and copying to make sure we are doing the moves properly!
In preparation for World Book Day on Thursday, Crew MI started to think about their favourite books favourite characters. We created an anchor chart to show our ideas.
We then thought about the reasons why we read and the places we like to read. We even discussed how we like to read! We enjoyed some time reading in these positions 🙂
We then listened to each other reading which was so lovely! We even circled up and did this 🙂 We have really enjoyed our activities today and are looking forward to more tomorrow.
