In our science lesson today, we wrote up our scientific reports from our investigation, which was investigating temperatures of water in a glass and in a plastic cup (which represents the greenhouse affect). We started by writing our own predictions.
Lots of great reading today in MI 🙂 We spent lots of time reading the text over and over. We read independently out loud, we read with our partner and we took part in a chorus read. We explored our new vocabulary and text marked this as we read. We were confident with the questions in our reasons to read and used the text well to support some of our answers. We loved our exit ticket where we had to use all the knowledge we had learnt from reading the text to draw and label our vision of Egypt. We shared these with our partners and then as a whole crew 🙂
We have been super busy in our maths lesson today 🙂 We have consolidated many areas! We looked at our timestables, fractions, pictograms and some arithmetic based questions. Great positive attitudes by all this morning 🙂
Today we took part in the picture challenge! First we looked at an image together and discussed the instructions we would give to someone who can’t see the picture! We thought about where we would start, what we would say and how we would communicate this. We then had a try with a different image. One partner gave the instructions to the other partner thinking about how they were communicating and what they were saying. We talked about patience for this challenge and encouraging our partner aswell. We then did a gallery walk where we looked at other peoples drawings, giving praises, notices and wonders. We then sat with our partner and gave some further critique. Our debrief allowed us to think about tips for our partner for next week.
We loved having everyone back for reading cafe this week!
In crew Marsh this morning we were challenged to play keep it up, in our smaller crews we had to keep the balloon in the air and make sure it did not touch the floor. We were super up this!
This week, in RE we learnt what happens in a Mandir which is a Hindu place of worship. We watched several video clips and learnt about their different Gods and Goddesses. Did you know that Hindus worship in a Mandir but also have a shrine at home?
Our final artwork pieces… we used cocktail sticks to create a spike pattern.
Today, in maths, we looked at describing turns and directions. We learnt about quarter turns, half turns and full turns. 🔄
In expedition this afternoon, we looked at what climate change is and how it is effecting the environment and animal habitats. We discovered that climate is the weather patterns in a region for over 30 years. We then looked at how the climate has changed in Svalbard. We used our learning from the previous lesson and found out that the sea temperature and air temperature in Svalbard has increased and this is melting the ice therefore impacting polar bear habitats.
