3 - 9 Oct 22 (week 40)

 Vin made another Mario party board game.

We wrote the next verse of the dictation poem.

We played some more online games to practice some spanish words, dragging the word to the correct picture and playing memory matching games.

We watched a short video about the history of castles in Britain, then we cut out some historical events and hung them on a timeline. We each chose an event in history to add to the timeline. We talked about how much has changed over different periods of history.

We read about the changing colours of the leaves and talked about what we could remember about why they change.

We had a go at a drawalong video to draw Ludwig von Koopa.

At communigrow the children thought about what you’d find living in or near a pond. They drew pictures of some of their ideas then made food chains with them showing energy from the plant converted to energy by the plants and then eaten by successive consumers in the chain. They dipped in the pond and found all sorts of interesting things like beetles and insect larvae.

We did the next glowy experiment from the letterbox lab. We made one glow stick cold and one warm then snapped them and compared how brightly and for how long they glowed.

We tried some more activities from the ‘scratch for beginners’ book. Vin had fun making up some of his own versions too and experimenting.

Vin played some online maths games on bbc bitesize and another website.

We finished writing out the poem and decorated each verse.

Vin had a go at some typing games on the computer.

We watched a mystery science video about why leaves change colour in the autumn then we went out and found some leaves and identified them then made a colourful autumn poster with leaf rubbings.
