Messy Maps!

This afternoon we have been looking at our classroom and the key features we have in it. We began by looking at important vocabulary such as aerial view/Birds Eye view and discussed why that is important to this lesson. We wrote about what we already know and features we thought were really important. We played a game of “I Spy” with our friends to identify what we already had in our classroom. We then looked at different aerial view maps of different classrooms and compared them to ours. We then created a messy map, using different resources to create an aerial view map of our own classroom. The children could explain what they had used for tables, chairs, the desk, where the doors are in the classroom, etc.

We had lots of fun creating our maps!

THE DEEP 🐠

Today half of 1/2K and 1C have had a wonderful day exploring the deep. We have seen lots of exciting things and have taken part in a fantastic workshop called “Save Our Seas”. Our activity leader was very impressed with what the children already knew about the topic.

Marvellous Home Learning in 1C!

Just look at the beautiful work Almina created at home! She has made an entire ocean in a tank and included examples of pollution, which is harming our sea creatures. This is linked to our current expedition in Key Stage 1; The Blue Planet. She also wrote this beautiful piece explaining why it is important that we look after our oceans!
Well done Almina! I am very proud!

We are scientists! 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬

4B have been scientists investigating which surfaces are the best to travel on. After conducting our experiment, we compared which surfaces the counter travelled the furthest on when pushed. We discovered that the counter travelled the shorter distance on surfaces which were rough and bumpy because it had more friction compared to the smoother surfaces with less.
Well done 4B for working well together in your mini crews!

SAVE OUR SEAS!

This afternoon in 1/2K we learned about pollution in more detail. We learned that pollution is usually rubbish that has been dumped into the rivers and carried out to sea. We found out that it can end up in the deepest part of the ocean; The Mariana Trench. We practiced our recycling by sorting different objects into plastic, metal and paper. Then we created posters to help raise awareness about sea pollution and what it is doing to the animals.

twit twoo! 🐦

This afternoon we have been bird watching. We put our coats on to see what birds we could spot in our local environment. To our surprise we saw lots of different types of birds. We created a tally chart of all of the birds we could find and the most common one we spotted was a blackbird. Thank you for the loveliest afternoon 1/2K!
