We love books

We celebrated World Book Day this week. We watched a live broadcast with Michael Rosen - he was really funny!

Then we had our own World Book Day event in class. Everyone brought in their favourite fiction book and their favourite non-fiction book. We did book reveiews and then had time to share our love of books. Everyone got very enthusiastic about sharing their books.

Mrs MacNab and Mrs Scott had brought in books too - their books were older than us!

We enjoyed seeing other people's books, and we found interesting facts about space in a lot of the non-fiction books. We also looked at Winnie the Pooh in Polish.

We also had World Maths Day this week. Lots of people took part in live maths games against people from all over the world. We were very proud that Molly C came top of the school for Level 1.

The rest of the week work carried on as usual. Here we are doing drama. We are making plays about being honest.

This is us looking at newspaper articles to find the 5Ws - who, what, where, when and why. We noticed that you can always find the 5Ws at the start of an article. We wrote our own newspaper articles about the space shuttle. Some of them will be appearing on the blog before the end of term.

Problem solving in maths - we were working together on different strategies to solve a problem.

We had an exciting time on Thursday and Friday when Mrs MacNab said we all had to become teachers and teach other people in the class. At first we were a bit worried, but in the end we loved it!

We went into groups to research all about how astronauts live in space. Some people found out about what they ate, some researched how they sleep, one group found out about how they keep clean and the last group researched what astronauts do in space when they're not working.

Here we are doing our research and making and highlighting notes to use to teach our group.

We went back to our original groups to teach them, so that everyone learned all about how astronuats live.

Do you know what astronauts eat?

Did you know that astronuats wear nappies when they are on a space walk?

We had to speak clearly so our group could hear us.

Did you know there is a keyboard in the International Space Station (ISS)?

Mrs MacNab showed us a picture of an astronuat playing it and Ewan spotted that he wasn't sitting on a seat, although he looked like he was sitting down there was no seat!

We watched some astronauts being interviewed in the ISS. They had some apples and oranges but most of their food is dried and needs to have water added and to be heated up.

We would like to be teachers again.
