We had a very exciting day today with a visit from Sophie Evans! Sophie came into school to help us learn to sing the Welsh national anthem. We felt very proud knowing that she used to come to our school when she was a little girl!
We have all really enjoyed learning about sharks over the past couple of weeks. We have learned lots of new words such as predator, carnivore, gills, plankton, dorsal fin and prey. Did you know that the largest shark is the Whale Shark and it can grow as big as a bus? Also, we found out that sharks, such as the Tiger Shark, have several sets of teeth so if they lose one, another one just pops into its place! Our favourite shark was the Hammerhead Shark because of its unusual shaped head. We had so much new information, and so many new words, to share about sharks so we decided to make a shark's glossary to share the information with others. We worked with a partner to create a talking glossary on Book Creator. We included text, image and a sound recording on every page. When we were in the hwb we created posters and newspaper reports about sharks to help share our new information. We are going to share our work with other children in our school. Have a look below at some photos of us working hard and enjoying learning all about sharks. In science we were learning about electricity so we did an experiment about static electricity using paper sharks. We had to draw a big shark onto tissue paper and cut it out. Once we had done this we placed the shark on a flat surface, Next we had to rub a ruler onto our trousers and hold it over the shark. We were amazed when the shark jumped off the table onto our ruler! We found out that this was because when we rubbed the ruler on our trousers we were charging it with static electricity. When we held the ruler over the shark the static electricity attracted the shark which made it jump. Have a look at some of our pictures. |
