Dear Mattingley
Families and Friends,
Wednesday saw us
learning new skills in our PE lesson with Mr Barton. As part of the obstacle
course he had added three platforms that the children needed to jump from, each
one getting a little bigger. It was important that they made sure that
they landed in their 'motorbike' position (bent knees) on each of
the mats. Pretending to be on motor bikes at the end of their jumps was lots of
fun! The last jump from the platform onto the trampoline onto the mats
took a little practice, but when they mastered the skills there was no stopping
them. We can't wait for PE next week!
This week we have
continued our investigating into how paper is made. Drawing from the
information we have learnt from watching YouTube clips we discussed the process
of making paper.
This is
a palm tree. You need to knock it down to find paper. It come from the
trunk then we pop it in the machine. Then it turn in paste then it tun into
paper. The machine chews it up but the tree will be sad. We need to keep it up.
I put paper I finished in recycle bin- William
Trees are
happy if we recycle- Felix
Then they
don't get cut down (if we recycle)- Roman
We
can recycle it to make more paper- Samuel
You can
scrunch the paper out of the recycle bit- Lochlann
After a chat with
Mrs Prest about how to start the process of making our own paper, we collected
paper from the recycle bins around the ELC to start.
We use recycle
paper- Roy
We chop it up
first- Walter
It soak, soak,
soaking- Paxton
Then it turns
into pastry (paste/pulp)- Sammy
Next week we will
have to work out the 'machine' we will use for the next stage of our paper
making journey. Watch this space!
We hope you have
a wonderful weekend,
Mrs Kimberley
