In Numeracy we have been learning a new song about the properties of 2D shapes. Can you remember the words? We will be having a 2D shape challenge on Friday, so keep practising!

This afternoon we chose which colours to use when painting our time machines. We realised how important it was to work together as a team! The first coat is now drying and we can’t wait to finish them very soon.

Today we used our designs to begin building our time machine models. We were faced with a classroom full of junk and had to decide which piece suited it’s purpose. Which materials did we use? How did you work together as a team? What do you think of our models…

In Numeracy we have been counting time. We have been discussing seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks and a century! We have been singing a song written by Dave Godfrey.

In our weekly music lesson we have investigated volume and tempo. Can you remember the vocabulary we used to describe the sounds we made?

Today we were really pleased to receive, from Madison, an adventurer’s guide to time travel. She had designed this on a special silken cloth. What do you think of her amazing work? What would you have included?

After school we had a visit from our time travelling adventurer who took his rucksack with him. He was really impressed with the lists you all completed in literacy last week. As he was leaving he told me he was travelling on a long journey to… Then he vanished before…

This afternoon we produced our own class charter. I wonder if we could have added anything else?
