In science we had been looking at light and how to reflects off different surfaces. We got the torches out and darkened the room, to see if we could create a light maze. By bouncing the light off mirrors and prisms we could get it to move around our maze.
This term we will be doing indoor athletics and gymnastics in PE. This week we have been looking at jumping and how to jump properly. We worked in groups to measure how far we could jump then evaluated each other's jump style. This helped us improve our distances. This week we have been using our descriptive techniques to help make our writing more interesting. We imagined what the Iron Man would think of all of the strange things he has seen on this planet. We tried to describe everyday things as if we had never seen them before which led to some very interesting similes! We played a game where we had to describe something and the other team had to try and guess what it was. We tried to make our own Iron men to give us ideas for our Big Writing on Friday. We used different materials and ways of sticking them together. Ad came up with different designs... This week we had another message from the robot 3.14159, he had found a book in the future and could only make out the authors name, Ted Hughes. We Googled it and found out that it was a book called the Iron Man. We read the first chapter and were engrossed! We have completed out first challenge for 3.14159. We completed profiles about ourselves using Microsoft PowerPoint ready to upload onto his website. For Big Writing this week we wrote autobiographies including plenty of information about us. We're all looking forward to the next challenge! Something very strange happened today. An unusual capsule fell from the sky, inside was a small metal robot. We found out that it was a memory stick, but then things just got stranger. On the stick there was a video from the future! It seems a robot called 3.14159 has lost his creator when travelling through time and wants our help. We had to decode his secret message that told us that we had to carry out tasks to help him. We can't wait to start! Just another day at Cwmclydach Primary School!! I hope you have all had a great summer and are excited to start back! We've had a really busy week settling in and writing character descriptions. I see it's going to be a very productive year! |
