Making an Igloo

Today Year 3 and Year 5 made the most of the snowy weather and made an Igloo.

We worked as a team to collect snow and mould it into block shapes. Using co-operation and knowledge of 3D shapes, this is what we managed to create.

There was not quite enough snow for a whole igloo - but this was a pretty good effort! Well done everyone!

Check out our other pictures on the TV outside the office.

Snow game

Snow is falling yet again!

If you have a few spare minutes - have a go at this snowflake puzzle game from the Met office.

Remember that snow flakes need to have lines of symmetry!!

It's cold!!!

With all of the snow it really is cold. Luckily one of us can make something of it all!

Instructions

Have a go at making tea for my Gran. Put the pictures in the correct order and then write the instructions underneath. Don't forget those bossy (imperative) verbs and time connectives.

This is a good link for adding and subtraction games. ( There are also times and divide games!!)

Does a plant need water to grow?

We set up a fair test experiment to investigate this question.

We have left three green plants ( the same kind) in the same place, (with the same temperature, amount of light and size of pot) for a week.

The only condition we have changed is the amount of water we give to the plant each day.

Plant A has 200 ml of water.

Plant B has 100 ml of water.

Plant C has no water.

We have made predictions and will look at our results next lesson!

Following Instructions

This week in Literacy, we have been looking at instructions.

We followed a set of instructions to make our own Chinese lanterns.

Here is an example of some of them.

We looked at what needs to be included in a good set of instructions and will have a go next week at writing some of our own.
