Tuesday Newsday - Where in the World?

With our current unit in mind, this week we tried to tell 'Where in the World' our news happened.

"The first South Korean astronaut was on the capsule that was supposed to land back in Russia but missed the target by 400km. That would be like heading for Geneva but instead, ending up in Zurich! Luckily, everyone on board was OK."

Mapping the school

We asked ourselves; how can we show what our school looks like? After taking a walk around the school, we had a go at trying to make a record of everything; from the classrooms to the kitchen, the music room to the French rooms and the library.

Take a look at mine. "I think I have remembered everything. I found it hard but I kind of enjoyed doing it. Now I feel proud. I did the gym first because that was the last place I was in before we started. I think someone else might be able to use my map."



How does it compare with the real thing?

My Shiny Sticker

This is a sticker. The back is made from a kind of card. If you peel it off it's sticky underneath.

There's something special about it. It's shiny and silver.....



but when you move it you can see it has lots of different colours.



If you look closely you might be able to see a face.....

Fabric Cards

Invented by Dangi, Tanmay and Matthew

Rules: No peeking
Go clockwise

. Spread the cards out
. Turn them over so you only see the green




. Put the blindfold on
. Choose two cards
. If they are the same, you keep them
. If they are different you put them back
. Then it is somebody else’s turn
. When all the cards are gone the game is over
. The winner is the one with the most pairs

What is it like?

My enormous pencil
This is a pencil and it is made of wood. The top part is made of metal.



What is it like?
It is not iron and it is not steel because it is not magnetic.

A piece of chalk
This is a piece of chalk. I brought it because we are reading a book about a chalk pit, called 'Stig of the Dump'.



What is it like?
Chalk comes from a rock. You can write with it.

plastic

This is a robot and its eyes are long. The head is made out of plastic knives and its tummy is made of a plastic milk bottle.



‘I like your robot because he has black eyes,’ said Azri.

the amazing domino machine

My pattern goes blue, red, blue, red and so on. These colours are my favourite colours. We can also describe this pattern 1, 2, 1, 2 and so on. I like it the most when I knocked the dominoes down.
