Word bingo

 We have begun to practise the words for our new reading book.  Teacher was so impressed with how well we know these new words that she played a Thank You Molly bingo game.  It was a lot of fun, and because we are good at recognising our new words we found this game pretty easy.  We love reading!

Making shadows

 On a nice sunny day we can make shadows with our bodies and our hands.

This will only work if the sun is behind us.  We could make our shadows grow tall and shrink small and we could make scary Gruffalo shapes.

We talked about whether it is the sun that moves during each day or whether it is the earth that moves around the sun.  Which do you think is correct? (Answer: The earth moves but the sun doesn't)

Twirling birds: LEGO

We made twirly birds in LEGO today.  They were not too difficult.

We were able to programme them ourselves.

When they didn't work perfectly we were able to figure out where we went wrong.

We just LOVE LEGO programming!

Have a look at the videos of our lego twirly birds and our programming.

We are able to make our twirly birds change direction by twisting the elastic band at the front.

Strawberries and Onions

Today we harvested onions and strawberries from our garden.

Teacher washed and chopped them up so we could all taste them.

The strawberries and onions were absolutely delicious.

Fish in our class

Teacher looked up more about the goldfish.

It is a Sarasa Comet Goldfish, originally from China and is related to the Japanese koi fish.

It is an omnivorous fish and will eat all kinds of fresh, frozen and flake foods.  It would also like peas, zucchini and lettuce!

This fish can hope to live for 7-14 years.

Garlic

We picked garlic from our garden yesterday and teacher cut it up for us so we could all taste it.

Most of us tasted it this morning and decided that it was a little spicy but delicious.
