14 Days Until Christmas

We have been very busy with Christmas related activities in R5. We have been using the Literacy Shed videos as inspiration for our writing. Here are two adverts from John Lewis.

Today we used our senses to write poems about Christmas. We published these poems in many different ways. Here is some of our finished work.

I Wonder

Today we started talking about our learning pathways topic for Term 2. The topic of study is Our World. Some of the children had some questions about the topic that they recorded onto the iPad.

We are going to be exploring the our world's continents and oceans. Check out this video about the continents and oceans on Earth.

Do you have any questions about our world? Or maybe you have an answer to one of Room 5's questions. Please leave a comment.

Making Statements

We have been developing our statistical literacy. On Friday, we conducted an investigation on the different colour of smarties in a fun size packet. We had to tally our results and use this information to create a bar graph. We then had to discuss our findings and make statements.
