Making Electrical Circuits

 This week we worked with a partner to design a clown and then make

an electrical circuit so that his nose would glow. 

We all succeeded in our challenge so there were lots of happy faces in the classroom!

 

 

Making electrical circuits

We began our topic 'Cool Stuff' by making simple electrical circuits.  We all predicted how we should use the equipment and worked together to make the light bulbs glow. 

 

What is science?

 At the beginning of the week we shared our knowledge about what we think science is. 

There were lots of different and interesting suggestions. 

One idea is that science should involve potions and experiments.

I wonder what types of tests we will do in our topic?

How to make fruit kebabs

We are continuing to learn about writing instructions; what information you need to include

and how you organise your writing.  This week we made fruit kebabs. 

Can you describe what we did at each step?

 

 

 

 Everyone enjoyed eating their own fruit kebab. 

Some of us even tried a new fruit which was great to see.

 

How to make toast

This week we have been learning about why we need instructions.  We began by making a list of where we might find them.  Some of the ideas included recipes and how to build a lego model.

We decided our first set of instructions would be how to make toast. 

Everyone enjoyed taking part, especially eating the warm toast!

 

 

We then went and wrote our own set of instructions. 

Everyone remembered to include important details, including the title and what you do in order.

I wonder what we will make next week?

Building our own churches

We have been learning about the different features of a church.  We decided to make our own out of shoe boxes.  Everyone co-operated and made very interesting models.

 

 

 

Investigating another country

We have been using photos to find out more about the people in Longjawe and what their lives are like.  It was important we looked closely to see the important details.
