Grasshoppers have been reading 'Fairy Tale Pets' in Guided Reading and we found that a goose had laid 'a big, heavy egg'. We used our knowledge of materials from our learning in the Autumn term to help us to decide which materials it may have been made out of. Have a listen to see what we thought.

We were given a set of animal cards and were asked to work with our team to find ways to group them.
Here are some of the ideas from Grasshoppers Class:
- big and small
- pets and wild animals
- animals that can fly and animals that can't
- yummy and not yummy (edible or not)
- animals and their babies

# data[].attributes.body
We looked at these pictures and talked together about which one could be the odd one out as well as anything they have in common.
'They are all baby animals.'
'It could be the lamb because the duck and the elephant can go in water.'
'The elephant calf is the odd one out because it lives in a hot habitat but the duckling and the lamb live in a cooler habitat.'

We were given lots of different examples of food and we had to sort them out into our own groups. I decided to sort mine into 'treats' and 'not treats'. Some others decided to use 'healthy' and 'unhealthy' or 'grown on plants' and 'comes from animals'. Aiza 23.01.23

After learning about the importance of exercise for humans, we decided to investigate if all exercises really increase your heart rate.
We did each exercise for two minutes and rested for two minutes before the next one- then we observed how our bodies were feeling, in particular our heart rate.
We found that our heart rate did increase a lot during some activities but not all.

We enjoyed trying different ways of washing our hands to see if soap really is the only way to do it properly.

We went on a materials hunt outside to see what objects in our school grounds are made of.
We noticed that materials like wood, metal, plastic and brick are used a lot because they are strong and they need to be to make things like fences, gates and play equipment. We didn't see any fabric because it isn't waterproof.

We have written about our own Mars Rover and designed them. We started by learning about the Mars Rover. In the book Curiosity it told us that the Mars Rover had antennas and a massive camera and diggers to search through the terrain.  We know that Europa is a moon.  Europa is an ice moon which had oceans so it must have life, do we're sending the rovers to look for life.

We had to write using relative clauses, modal verbs, passive voice and active voice (we got to choose which one, but it had to stay the same) and fronted adverbials.

It's been very interesting and fun.

We did Science outside by exploring solids liquids and gases.  If you can hold it, it's a solid, if it poured out of your hands it's a liquid.  We explored toothpaste to see what it was.

We were set an important task by Santa's elves- to find a suitable material to cover the sleigh and keep all of the presents dry. We found out that the best materials to use would be either tinfoil or bubble wrap because they were both waterproof and didn't let any water through.
The worst material would be a towel because it let 55ml of water soak through and absorbed lots too!
