20 - 26 Nov 23 (week 47)

 We looked at videos about Sumatran rhinos. Then we solved some puzzles using clues to draw the perimeter of an enclosure for them. We played a game rolling 2 dice and multiplying them together then drawing a shape with the length perimeter.

We also came up with some drawings of ponds using squared paper that had to have a specific perimeter. We used a scale of 1 square = 1 metre.

Vinnie did some pages about verbs in his English book.

We did the next mystery science lesson. We made two different cups of ‘lava’ and did experiments with them to see the differences between cone volcanoes and shield volcanoes and why cone volcanoes explode violently sometimes whereas people can stand and watch shield volcanoes erupting comparatively safely. We learned how sometimes volcanoes erupt so violently that they shoot clouds of ash hundreds of miles away. This gave us more clues about what happened in our overall mystery with the prehistoric rhino fossils.

We watched a few other mini mystery videos too about football, bicycles and sweets.

Vin solved some puzzles about perimeter on some printed worksheets.

He made a cute comic strip in Spanish.

He also did some activities from his English book and wrote a diary entry using the past tense.

We read a funny book called spaghetti and meatballs for all and saw how even with the same area, the perimeter can be different.

We made a fun space invaders type game using Scratch.
