All about houses
We are talking about houses. We know the different rooms in a house, different kinds of houses, and different houses from different countries: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFYH7xj-EhQ
Today we painted houses while we listened to a really nice song about houses.
Here is the song we heard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR5qPNPGCmY

Music with movement
We are learning a new song. It is called "Morning Town Ride".
We responded to this song through dance, mime and actions.
We had a lot of fun with our new song.
Here is a link to our new song from YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6JCzkFpG8k

Maths number game
We learned how to play a new matching game. You have to match up numbers, numerals and spots. We will play this in teams and see can each team do the matching correctly. We don't think it will be too difficult for us.

Carol Service
We had our carol service last night in the church. It was a fabulous event, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the carols and the readings.
Congratulations to all our carolers. You were fantastic!
Paper tree decorations
Look at the fabulous paper decorations we made in class. We got some help:- from our class artist, Calin, who regularly shows us how to make some lovely crafts.

Teacher's new caterpillar
Monday, December 19th, 2011
Teacher found a very green caterpillar outside on the frosty step. She has rescued it, and we will look after it in school and give it nice leaves to eat and water to drink. Hopefully it will turn into a healthy moth (or butterfly).

Forces with a hair dryer
Forces Experiments
Gravity and Air
Teacher had a hair dryer and some balls of different weights and sizes.
After chatting about what the balls were made of, and what the balls are filled with, we put the balls in order, starting with the heaviest and finishing with the lightest.
The bouncy rubber ball was heaviest, the ping pong ball was next and the polystyrene ball was the lightest.
Next, we watched what happens when we let go of a ball:- each one falls to the ground because gravity is acting on it.
We took out the hairdryer, and guessed first what would happen if we put each ball into the slipstream and let the force (air) act on it.
We got so good at this that we could even manage to balance two balls in the slipstream.

| A rubber bouncy ball does not float at all! |
A little polystyrene ball will float up in the air stream, but is not heavy enough, or have a strong enough gravitational force to stay in the slipstream. It just bounces away, every time.
So, what happens if we use a cardboard cylinder (a toilet roll or a kitchen roll) to make sure all the air travels upwards and not to the side.
The ping pong ball is pushed up much higher.
