Telling the Time



We have been learning to tell the time. We also solved lots of time problems which took a lot of working out and thinking!
Don't forget to keep telling the time at home for extra practise. Wearing a watch will also help.

Swimming Tomorrow

A quick reminder to parents that swimming will start tomorrow and continue every Thursday until Easter. Your child will need a swimming costume, towel and goggles.
Thank you

Taking a Closer Look











We used magnifying glasses and the Whiteboard microscope to take a closer look at paper.
.

Making timelines







Joe and Evan created a timeline of events that they researched.

History Clothes

















We looked at lots of photos from the 1940'sand 1960's. We used them to discuss the fashion from those decades. We used these sources to design clothes for our display.
Shauna says she would "prefer to wear clothes from the 60's as they were cooler and much brighter".
Joel and Joe prefered the 1940's especially the uniforms that the HomeGuard use to wear.

Sorting Different Paper











We sorted lots of different papers. Some
groups sorted them into rough and smooth piles.
We thought of lots of different words to describe the different papers.

Half Term Task

Half Term Task

Find out about a famous event/person/invention from the 1960's. You can present your findings in a form of a poster, painting, 3d model, dvd etc. You must then prepare a small 5 minute presentation so you can tell everyone in the class what you found out and how you found it out.
Have a fun, safe holiday!!!
