Changing materials

This is what we already know about changing materials...

Changing materials

We have been thinking about how materials can change. Today we did an investigation to see what happened when we heated chocolate above a candle. Can your child tell you what happened?

Diwali

We learnt a Diwali stick dance and some of us perfromed it in assembly.

Counting on

We have been practising counting on from any number.

Baptising our teddies

We will be learning about various religious naming ceremonies. This week we learnt about Baptisms. Anja from St. Mary's Church came to visit us and baptised our class teddy Spangles. We then baptised our own teddies.

 
 
 
 
 

The Gunpowder Plot

We learnt about Guy Fawkes' plan to blow up the Houses of parliament. We then tried to put the events in the story in the right order.

We also learnt to famous poem:

Remeber rember the fith of November

Gunpowder, treason and plot

I see no reason why gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot

Fireworks

We have been making fireworks. We dipped teabags in runny paint and then threw them onto the black paper on the floor. We also used lots of different media suck at match sticks, straws, cottons buds and lillypop sticks to make fireworks.

Who we were, Who we are, Who we will be

We look at our baby bictures and thought about how we had changed. We then wrote about what we wanted to be or be able to do in the future.

Black history week

We read the famous poem about Ruby Bridges:

Mom said, "My God, what have I done?"
She spoke her heart
Ruby Bridges, she did her part
Ruby Bridges, she reflected
Ruby Bridges, we were affected
Ruby Bridges, that little child
Ruby Bridges, that world beguiled
Ruby Bridges, by a little child
Ruby Bridges, who changed the course of history
Ruby Bridges, no longer a memory but a reality
Who? "Ruby Bridges"

We then wrote our own class version

Ruby Bridges, don't be scared
Ruby Bridges, I will hold your hand
Ruby Bridges, she was kind
Ruby bridges, you helped us
Ruby Bridges, thank you for our school.

Autumn

We have been learning to use adjectives (describing words) to make our writing more interesting. In groups we wrote a poem about Autumn using our senses. We then added searched for and added a background and changed the font to how we wanted it to look.
