Science, by Mrs McLennan

As part of our topic ‘Design Away’ we started the afternoon listening to the story Rosie Revere, Engineer. She’s an inventor who makes gadgets from different materials. We then used our senses to try and guess objects that were hidden in a bag and then sort the objects into groups. Could the objects be squashed or not?

Tuesday - Hunting and Gathering, by Mrs Catterall
Date: 16th Jan 2019 @ 7:03am
We spent sometime outside searching the grounds for plants to eat. We had to be careful as some were poisonous. There were also some large animals about. We found some very large ones and practised our spear throwing.
Inside we became historians and scientists. How do we know what the Stone Age people ate? We could explore their poo! We put on plastic gloves and searched for evidence of what they might have eaten. We found remains of plant leaves, fish bones, seeds and berries. There were some great faces as they did this.
We carried on with trying to light a fire with flint and steel. It is very difficult.
In the afternoon we researched and started to make posters of the different prehistoric animals.

Letter writing , by Mrs McLennan

Today we have written letters to the author Hilary Robinson telling her how much her books on World War One inspired us. I wonder if we will receive a reply. We have become expert map readers and map makers of the local area. We have also had a great dance lesson where we thought about shells and the shape they make.
