Sink or Float?

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

 

As part of our creative home learning (can you make a 3Dmodel of a ship. Can you make it float?), some children chose to create their model and bring them in to test them. The children had to think recap back to our ‘materials’ topic and decided which properties of materials are suitable to ensure their boat would float. Today, the children got to test their ships in class and the rest of the children voted red for sink and blue for float. Great effort everybody! Some super designs and materials used!

Internet Safety Week

As part of our internet safety week, yesterday we did an internet safety word search, finding vocabulary linked to computing and staying safe on the internet which enabled us to recap some key words and jog our memory of our internet safety topic from the Autumn term. We then got into small groups and were given a variety of different scenarios e.g. making a new friend on the internet.’ We had to decided/discuss in our groups whether the scenario was a good idea or a bad idea and then write an explanation why they thought it.
