🥕 Vegpower Week 🥕

This week we have been learning all about carrots 🥕

We created paper carrots and fact files for our wonderful display board. 

In an effort to get us to eat more carrots (and change a certain member of our class’s mind about them), we invited Mrs Thompson to show us how to make her famous carrot cake 🤤

Take a look at our pictures 😃

Titanic

We have started our final topic of P7: The Titanic! We went to the park and marked with chalk our estimates for the length of the Titanic. Then we measured the real length with trundle wheels. Some of our estimates were pretty close 👍

Maths

We have been using the points of the compass to help us learn about angles. We turned through acute, obtuse, right and reflex angles from different starting points on the compass. 

'Hatchet' by Gary Paulsen

We have been reading the novel 'Hatchet'. In this story Brian is lost in a forest following a plane crash. He has to learn to survive and builds a shelter then tries to build a bow and arrow. 

We tried to make our own shelters using things we found in the park and bows and arrows using sticks we gathered, wool, string and elastic bands.

The Human Body

We have been learning about the different systems of the body. Take a look at our inventions for a light-weight, waterproof cast. We also conducted an experiment to see what happens to food in the digestive system.
