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.
In today’s experience lesson we tried to see if we could find where penguin was because he was feeling lonely and sad. Luckily using our telescopes we managed to find him rowing in an umbrella!
This morning, we have completed our planning in preparation for writing the rest of the week. This allowed us to collect some good vocabulary, fronted adverbial and ideas so we have a good starting point for writing tomorrow.
In todays experience lesson we have made our own boat just like the boy in our story and sailed with penguin to the south pole. There was some choppy water and angry clouds, so we got to experience a storm!
Leo has been working incredibly hard in Crew, his writing has absolutely blown us all away! He had presented his work beautifully ready for our display. We are so proud of you, Leo!
Today, we completed our case study reflection for Case Study 2. We reflected on all our learning over the case study and answered some questions based on our learning. I was blown away by the amount of knowledge the children had remembered.
We set up our science experiment by measuring 200ml of water to put in each of the jugs. We then placed these into the freezer for 24 hours. After they had frozen, we placed one in the freezer, one on the radiator and one on the table. We then measure the amount of water (ice melted) every half an hour and recorded the results. We then plotted a graph to show our results. We wrote all this up in a scientific report including: a title, prediction, equipment list, method, results and conclusion.
After visiting the park and having no hope there finding out where penguin was from, the little boy decided to ask his duck in his bath…. annoyingly the duck had no idea either! He floated off with no explanation!
