Can you think of sentences that use a wow word to describe what you can see?

Measuring madness

Today the class went measuring mad.  We used a dinosaur ruler to measure objects around the classroom accurately. Everyone seemed to be having great fun.  We also got a master class in measuring from Pete our caretaker who was putting up some picture frames in our classroom at the same time as our lesson.  We talked together about the importance of accurate measuring and we observed how Pete used a tape measure to get the pictures hanging straight.

Congratulations Holly.

Guide dogs for the blind visit

Last week Guide dogs for the Blind fund raiser, Thelma visited our class with her fabulous dogs Alma and Rhoda.  Thelma shared with us why guide dogs are needed and how they are trained at puppy school.  We then got the chance to meet the dogs up close and walk them.  We also tried on different glasses that helped us to experience a range of eye conditions and how they would affect people's eyesight including a complete blindfold that took away all of our eyesight.  Children shared that they felt worried , scared and nervous when their sight was taken away or decreased.  We could all see the benefit and importance of having a Guide dog.  Have a look at our pictures to see what we got up to.

We were able to handover a donation of £20 to Guide dogs for the Blind.  Thank you Thelma for such a brilliant visit.

Making natural dyes

This week in our topic lessons we have been making natural colour dyes.  We used different foods to create a dye using just water and salt.  The results were brilliant.  Keep an eye on the blog to see what we are going to do with the fabric strips.

Reading with year 5

Mr Lee asked us if we would like to hear the stories that year 5 have written and their super art work that they decorated their story front covers with.  Mr Lee was impressed to hear some of the year 1 children reading the books to year 5!!!!!

 

Thank you so much year 5.  You never know we may be inviting you to read our stories.

Fantastic learning logs
