First and Second Class have been very busy since September! We completed our first project, taken many trips to the library, preformed some Halloween themed experiments and shown off our mathematical skills during Maths Week.
The children worked in groups to complete a project on spiders! They researched, designed and presented their projects!! We learned some amazing facts about spiders and we even found some beautiful webs outside our classroom.
Each week we take a trip to the library. We have read so many books since September and all the children are getting really good at completing their book reports after reading!
Maths week was lots of fun! The children went on a problem hunt around the classroom and played lots of maths games, some of which had the added bonus of being edible!!!
Halloween week has brought its own fun! We learned that pumpkins float, who would’ve thought? Certainly not us, most of us predicted that they would sink but after carrying out our experiment we can confirm, they do in fact float! We then went on to cut open the pumpkin and use our senses and our knowledge of adjectives to describe the pumpkin, smelly and slimy being the preferred description!! We learned all about the different parts of the pumpkin and its life cycle ! We carried out another experiment to check out the reaction between vinegar and baking soda , it bubbled like a potion in a witches cauldron much to our disappointment as a huge explosion was expected from most !!!!!
We have learned so much and had lots of fun along the way!
