Our first visit to the common

On Monday the 22nd we went to the common. We looked for a space to take our photos which we look at throughout the year. We split into our cube world groups to take the photos. Before that we swapped a whistle for a pompom at our geocache. Then we looked at the pond.

Our assembly

On Thursday 19th it was our class assembly.We showed the rest of the school our cube globe. It is made up of 6 different countries (worlds) that we have created. We have named them, Jurassic Temple, Animalmainia, Magic World, Candy Land, Wonderforts and Swan Glitter Lands. We made up plans of what we wanted our country to look like.We then drew, painted and glittered each country. We are very proud of our work! this is our work/world.

Our first week - new year 3's and 4's.

We had fun during our first rugby session with Dave.Everyone played well, there was some excellent team work!
. The year 4's showed the year 3's what to do including the colours of the board - green for science, pink for literacy and blue for maths.
. We have been partitioning numbers to show that we understand the value of the numbers.
Our new topic is shelter, we are enjoying learning about shelters.
We drew and painted landscapes and added special features in for our own world. The landscapes were for the faces of our imaginary world. (a cardboard box!)
We have learned about materials. Some people knew lots about different metals like malachite, platinum and titanium.
We will be making shelters - animal, our world, for us and around the world.
We went out for a walk on Monday to see where we will pick our fruit for cooking and to look for changes and shelters.

Rocket Experiments

On Thursday the 7th of March we set up a experiment with rockets.
First we had to get in groups of three. Some of us were making Little rockets and some made big rockets. The children that made the big rockets were given the body of the rockets.
After we started putting the weights and cones to balance the rocket when it takes off.
Afterwards we put Clingfilm wrapped in baking soda and vinegar.
The children that made the little rockets were given a small film canister.
Next we were given weights to put on.
We filled them with a bicarbonate of soda and vinegar.

Geocache

We have put a Geocache on Broomscott common. There are lots of things inside for you to swap, read and look.
To find it go to www.geocaching.com and make a profile. Then download the app then start finding it.
There are these all over the world.
