We have had a fanastic week learning all about the Queen's Handbag.
We have been retelling the story using story maps and actions. We have been learning all about London and the different buildings and places to visit. Together we made a collage of the London skyline using different paper, we then drew our favourite London landmark and added it to the collage.
In French, we practised saying ice cream flavours and played a game to reinforce the vocabulary. Then we talked about the Tour de France which starts this Saturday.
In Science, we talked about different materials feeling warm or cool and predicted which material would melt an ice cube fastest. The metal felt the coldest so we thought the ice would stay solid in the pan for longest and the plastic felt warmest so we thought the ice would melt quickest on the plastic chopping board. However, the opposite happened! This led on to a discussion about thermal conductors and insulators!! We talked then about how salt melts ice. The children added a pinch of salt to an ice cube and tried to freeze a piece of wool to it and pick it up. Great perseverance and discussion about the best way to do it. Well done everyone!
In PE we did lots of activities to practice our funamental skills; throwing, catching, rolling, skipping, jumping.
In RE we looked at Islam for other faiths week. Miss Patel spoke with us about the Islamic Faith and Eid after she celebrated it this week with her family.
