October 2014


Our topic is ‘Yabba Dabba Doo!’, which is about the Stone Age and Iron Age.  We have been learning about history and have made a Toilet Paper Timeline.  The Stone Age was 78 sheets ago (1 sheet equals 100 years) and the dinosaurs became extinct 2,166 rolls ago.  In Computing we have been learning how to program in Scratch and have made some animations.  We have been learning about volcanoes in Science.  We have researched why they erupt and how hot they are.  We have also learnt that the centre of the earth is 60 times hotter than boiling water.  In Maths we have been learning about 2D shapes and 3D shapes.  A 19 faced 3D shape is a nonadecahedron.  In Art we created caves and drew on the ceiling (it was really the underside of our desks!).  For English we are writing a story and it is based on ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’.  In all our learning we are trying to show a Growth Mindset.
