Summer
Computing and Music: we have started using Chrome Music Lab to explore rhythm and pattern using different instruments to match an animal's movement.
Science: we discussed all the different ways that seeds can be “dispersed” such as by being blown away (dandelion seeds); eaten (by animals and then deposited on the ground); exploding open (violas); floating down a river (coconut seeds); sticking to animals (sandburs); and falling to the ground (sycamore seeds). Afterwards, we had fun creating our own sycamore seeds, which slowly floated down to the ground like twirling helicopters because of their wings, which spin and turn in the wind.
Maths: initially we used Dienes to practically solve 2-digit subtraction calculations and then we progressed to using a pictorial representation of tens and ones. This helped us when crossing the 10s boundary!
PE: we practised our sprinting technique to help us to run more quickly!
