DT Hook Day
What a way to end a fantastic hook week! This afternoon, we took part in our very own ‘Ready, Steady, Cook’ and followed a recipe to make cookies.
While they were baking, we then started to discuss what a healthy diet was and what the different food types were. Next, came the blind tasting…which got mixed reviews. It was great to try different foods and lots of us found something that we liked that we had not tasted before. Overall, a great end to a great week!
David Hockney map artwork
We have finished our hook week creating a map of Carcroft using David Hockney artwork.
Mayan Masks
After starting to look at the Mayan timeline in History, we learned about the different masks that were worn by this civilisation. We learned that some masks were worn for celebrations, battle and even in death. Then we had an opportunity to design and create our own masks using known Maya masks as a template.
Our Tower
For our experience lesson, Crew Godley, we read the story ‘Our Tower’ for our new writing unit then we discussed different scenes from the book. We then made our own towers out of different resources in the classroom and designed our own towers from looking at different types of towers.
Our tower
Today we started our new book in writing called “Our Tower”, the book started with a girl who was walking through a tall, grey and dingy city. She did not feel very happy and it was raining so she was soaked!
We experienced the miserable weather and built our own skyscrapers for our own city. We especially worked on our adjectives in todays lesson to help us to describe what we could see.
First Aid…
Today, we had a very exciting start to the term and kicked off hook week with a first aid course. We learnt about how to give CPR, check for dangers, call the emergency services, how to use a defibrillator and an epi-pen. We then talked in detail about what we had learnt and made suggestions for what we thought our guiding question for this next expedition would be.
Why can a polar bear not live in Africa?
Today we have been Scientists and looked at the different parts of an animal, we labelled their different features and compared them to other animals we have learnt about. We also thought about why animals have different features because of their habitat and the temperature.
Inputs and Outputs 🖥️ 🎧
Today in computing we have explored inputs and outputs. Did you know an input is getting information into a computer and an output is getting information out of a computer. Inputs could be a keyboard ⌨️ a mouse or a microphone 🎤 An output could be a monitor, a printer 🖨️ or a speaker 🔊. We then became virtual
Tom’s Dad has gone missing!📰
When we got in from break today we heard our classroom door make a strange noise, we had been delivered a newspaper that told us the great explorer (Tom’s Dad) had gone missing in North Pole.
We decided that we wanted to help, so we all wrote our own newspaper describing what Tom’s Dad looked like and where he had gone missing. We then told the rest of the school about this by posting it under their classroom doors.
