Today in our Science lesson Mr Winn came in and told us all about what happened to Sir Isaac Newton when he was sat under the tree. We practiced key vocabulary with physical demonstrations that helped us identify the difference between them! We had developed knowledge on edifying theories such as Sir Isaac Newton’s theory of gravity.
Today in our English lesson we developed our knowledge on features of a play script. We got into pairs and worked as a team to identify and discuss the features of a play script. We identified Scene numbers and title, setting description, speakers name, stage directions in brackets, speech without inverted commas and will be in present tense.
Today we practiced the features of a play script. We did this by identifying the Narrator and characters and the speaking parts of a play called ‘How the birds got their colours’. We went through and identified how a play-script was different to a story by identifying acting and characters personalities within a play-script.
During topic this term in Rowan class we are learning about Vikings. This afternoon we participated in a carousel of activities visiting others classes to complete them including reading and recognising our letters for our names. Writing our name out in Viking rune on a tomb stone then wiping a wet tea bag over to make it look old and tarnished. We used plasticine to mould and manipulate into the shape of a Viking boat and tested on water to see if it floated or sank. Jordan said “because we compressed the plasticine it made it more compact to hold the water”. The final activity was to make a Viking Trollen craft reel (similar to a hair braid) ensuring we only followed the odd numbers to make the pattern.
This morning we have been doing a practice lesson of seeing the changes in materials, and reversible and irreversible changes. We used filters with sand and water to see the difference between a soluble liquid and were able to see how the sand doesn’t filter through when there is water applied. We also saw how oil and water separates when mixed in with each other.
Well done Birch for taking part in our Science lesson.
We all had our Christmas lunch together as a class with the rest of Primary and Secondary. Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
The children have been researching about the highest point in the U.K. which is Scarfell pike. The children then did some research about the highest point in Italy and had to draw a picture of the mountain. We then wrote some facts about it which included the height above sea level and how long it takes to climb.
This year we asked some of the children in primary to bring in people’s kitchen donations instead of Christmas cards. Thankyou so much to the children that brought in donations. We’ve collected a lovely collection of items for people who need them at this difficult time of year.
