The children practiced jumping on spots, balancing on stepping stones (floor is lava), wiggling the hoops on our hips and practicing to balance bean bags on their heads. Great work!

Cooking in Crew.
Last half term the children focused on spreading and cutting different textures of food. We made jam sandwiches, fairy bread, fruit cutting and to link in with our expedition book, ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’, the children made bear faces with rice cakes. All the children enjoyed the new flavours.
How do people use water?
This week we continued our geography case study by exploring the reasons why humans use water. We learned that water is used for drinking, agriculture, leisure, transportation, making electricity and as habitats for animals and plants. As well as exploring the uses of water, we also learned about the impact this can have on the environment. In some cases this can be positive, however, in others it can be negative.
Writing – Experience Day
In our experience day, we had the chance to explore the story that we’ll be using as a stimulus to help us write. Due to the story being a picture book, we had to make inferences about what we thought was happening based on the images. We then used some of the pictures to complete a silent conversation which allowed us to shared our notices, feelings and actions we could see in the images.
Drawing Bar Charts
In maths this week, we have continued on with our statistics unit and learned how to draw bar charts. During input, we had an opportunity to demonstrate our understanding before going into our books.
Investigating rocks
Today we carried out three different experiments to test the hardness, permeability and buoyancy of different types of rocks. First, we completed a prediction on whether we thought the rocks would be hard or soft, permeable or impermeable, or sink or float. We used a range of equipment to test a variety of rocks including chalk, sandstone, granite, basalt, slate and marble. We found that chalk is soft, sandstone is permeable and marble is not permeable. After carrying out the experiments, we checked our results against our predictions to see if we got any right.

Sport day fun
Sports day fun!
A great morning at LKS2 sports day 🙂 We all loved it!
Creating Craters
This week in expedition we have been scientists and conducted an experiment all about how craters are formed.
To start we wrote a method and equipment list. Then we made a prediction about what we thought might happen. Finally is was time to conduct our experiment.
We then used our results to produce a line graph.
