New Term - New Topic!

Can you use our Wordle brainstorm to work out what our topic is for this term? Can you think of any more ideas we could have added to our Wordle?

Spring has Sprung!!

This morning we went for a walk to look for signs that Spring had arrived. We took photos along the way of all the interesting Spring things that we saw. We even found some sunbathing ladybugs and a very busy buzzy bee collecting pollen!!

When we got back to our classroom, we made a Y chart about all the things we saw, heard and smelled.


JB (who has only been at school for 1 term) did this fantastic piece of descriptive writing all by himself!

On our Spring walk ... we heard a bee buzzing and the bee had black and yellow stripes. It was collecting pollen from one of the flowers. The orange flower was turning white. The grass was sparkly.

Motorbikes!

Today all the Pod 1 classes met on the big courts to look at 2 different motorbikes. One was a traditional style and one was more modern looking. We looked closely at each motorbike and some of us took photos of the interesting features. Then we listened to each motorbike to see if they sounded the same or different. When we got back to our classroom, we made a Venn diagram of all the interesting features that we noticed.

Can you use the information in our Venn diagram to work out which photo is of which motorbike?

All About Cars

Today we brainstormed all our ideas about cars and their features. We came up with lots of ideas! Can you think of any other ideas we could add to our wall? (You can use the scroll bars to see the rest of our brainstorm or follow this link click here)



After that we headed outside to look at Mrs B's 1962 VW. We could see lots of things that were different when we compared it to the other cars in the carpark. Have a look at the photos we took. What differences can you see?

Herbie

Today we watched part of the movie Herbie. We made a brainstorm of all our ideas about Herbie.





Then we did some shared descriptive writing about Herbie.

Herbie is a beetle car. He is dirty white with blue and red stripes. He has little round mirrors that stick out. He is old and dirty and rusty and Maggie found him at a car dump. He has the number 53 on his badge.
Herbie made a vroom sound when he was racing. He honked and beeped his horn to tell Maggie things. When he moved his tyres he made a screeching sound.
Herbie is cheeky and he likes to play tricks. Sometimes he is a bit naughty but he is a good friend to Maggie. In the race he shows off and he wants to win. He drives all by himself.

Can you find the ideas from our brainstorm in our shared writing?

We like to move it!

This term we are learning about Transport. Our topic is called 'We like to move it!'
We started our topic by brainstorming all the different types of transport we could think of. We had lots of fun using Wordle to record our ideas.
Can you think of any more types of transport?
