Dear
Angwin families,
We
have enjoyed another jam packed week this week. We visited our buddies in the
big school to make the pizzas that we ran a survey for last term. We enjoyed
slopping ingredients all over 3Bi’s classroom. After the pizzas had all been
cooked we were mysteriously two pizzas short, we think that they may have been
gingerbread pizzas and ran out of the oven!
Luckily Ms Wegener was on hand with
her super pizza making skills to whip up two new ones! We also made milkshakes
in the classroom. Again we used our maths skills to survey the children to find
out our favourite ingredients. Banana and strawberries won hands down! We
looked at the machine we used to make them and thought about what was making it
work.
“It
needs power, electricity” suggested Aiden
“It’s
got cogs inside, cogs make things go round” said Arwyn
We
looked at the end from a safe distance as Mrs Bishop pushed the button. Arwyn
was right! The sharp bits at the end whizzed round and round!
We
also went on a hunt for spring flowers in the college, we were surprised at how
many we discovered. As we walked past the chapel we found a wall of beautiful
flowers and had a great time scaling the rocks like mountain goats to pluck all
of the various colours. We decided to press our flowers and created a giant
flower press outside our room (we decorated it and added chairs around it to
keep the little children away because it is very wobbly). We changed the paper
on Friday and found that it was very damp.
“The
water in the flowers gets squashed out and it’s the juice” said Joe R
“When
it’s a little seed and the rain comes it all goes into the flower when it grows
up and that is the water (that we can see)” said Oscar
We
also began to make gifts for our fathers, we need to use a machine to make it,
can you guess what it might be? No peeking!
Next
week we are making a doctors surgery to use up all the medicine the children
have been making in the sand pit.
“We
really need to make more medicine so we can give it to people, well, the people
that don’t have money or homes or food”, said Arwyn
“They
have to pay twenty million thousand for this medicine”, Samuel answered
“ No,
we don’t have to do that. They can have it for free”, said Arwyn
“But
why?”, asked Samuel
“Well,
they don’t have money to buy food so they don’t have money for medicine too”,
Leon answered and Arwyn agreed
“Okay,
we make more medicine then, and maybe we will deliver this to sick people in
the whole wide world”, Samuel agreed
If you
have any props we can use in our doctors surgery such as old masks, stethoscopes
etc… we would love to use them.
We
have also changed where we keep our portfolios. They are now on the shelf
outside our room. Feel free to take a seat in the black and white chair and
have a look at your child’s investigations before heading off to work. Feel
free to leave a comment for them if you want to J
Happy
reading
Love
from the Angwin team
