This week the children have settled quickly back into
routine and are enjoying our new unit of inquiry “Noiseworks”. We are looking
forward to the wonderful noises and sounds that the children will bring in for
our show and tell this term! Please return your child’s portfolio as soon as
possible. We are starting to document their learning already and want to add
these snapshots to our portfolios.
This week David brought in some headphones for show and
tell. He told us he uses them when his Dad makes loud noises with his tools. He
also uses them when he is watching the Monster trucks and Speedway racing cars.
Following on from this we had a class discussion about what things make a LOUD
noise.
Charlie A: racing cars
Jacob: A lawnmower
Jock: Aeroplanes
Dougal: Jackhammer
Tom: A harvester
James S: A drum
Harry M: Monsters
Boasi: the red beast
Toby: Train toots
Geordie: Drills
Already our children have a wealth of information to
share and discuss relating to our inquiry. We are looking forward to the
discussions and projects that may come from their hypotheses and
investigations!
We are also very excited that Miss Amelia’s tummy is growing
bigger and bigger! Her baby is due early next term. We can’t wait to meet her bundle of joy!
Warmest regards,
Emma, Pip, Amelia, Sarah and Heidi
