Circuit fun!
Today for our practical in Science we split into groups of two. The children looked at creating a full circuit using a power supply, buzzer, wires and a light bulb. Then they looked at when circuits break and when they aren’t complete. They had to problem solve in identifying how to make a full circuit while working in teams.
Croft Shop
Today we practiced our money skills by creating our very own Croft Shop in Birch. The children had a handful of objects that were labelled with a price tag and they were given random amounts of money. The children came up and asked for the object that they wanted and had to give Mrs Dunn the correct change.
The children were super excited to give the correct amount to Mrs Dunn and to receive their object!
Expanded noun phrases
Today we recapped our knowledge of what a noun was. The children were asked what a noun was and all of them said a person, place or thing. The children were asked to pick an object and to tell staff what the noun was. We then looked at a PowerPoint to help explain what a expanded noun was. The children had to choose the adjectives to develop an extended noun.
The children were asked to identify what a noun was in each sentence, before selecting adjectives.
Money Money Money!
Today for our Maths lesson we have started to learn about MONEY! We created our own shop and we had to use money to buy what we wanted. We had to challenge ourselves to see if we had enough for what we wanted. We had to count out the correct amount and we had to recognise the correct coins.
Primary Easter Rewards day
