Lucy's camp story

Robots

Today we are robot programmers.  We are creating a set of instructions that a robot could follow.  Our instructions must be correct or they might end up going the wrong way

Postcard Predictions

Today we were looking at the reading strategy 'predicting'. The children went around the tables predicting where all of the 'postcards' were from. They had to work as a group and talk about what languages might be spoken in that country, what foods might be eaten, what types of clothing might be worn and what kinds of activities might they do in a place like this. Predicting is an important strategy for readers as it helps them to anticipate what they are reading. It encourages them to become active readers.

What's your favourite?

We have been doing Statistics in Maths.  The children have all come up with a question that they would like to investigate and are collecting the data they need to create their graphs

The Room 8 animals

The children were all given an animal name, they had to find their animal partner using only the sound the animal makes. Lots of fun.
