Week beginning 23rd.1.2017

Another great, busy week in Class 1. We had some important tasks to carry out such as:

 

Making Queen Elsa her own ice palace....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rescuing the animals from the ice (it took a long time and a lot of thinking to free the poor animals from the ice blocks)...

 

...making lovely wintery patterns using a variety of materials...

 

...cooking a warm, tummy-filling rice pudding...

...which went down a treat!

 Our maths this week, we have been getting better at doubling and halving.. playing matching and sort games to help us along the way.

 

 

We completed our lovely display in class on Artic animals using pictures the children have drawn and fact books they have written.

 

We also did a great experiment to see how the animals we have been learning about keep warm in the freezing cold water...

Some icy cold water...

 

A layer of fat...

 

And some plastic bags...

 

We discovered that the finger wrapped in fat stayed warm because it was insulated from the cold. All children could feel the difference and agreed that they would rather be well insulated to go swimming in the Arctic waters.

 

Congratulations to Shelby, our Golden Book winner this week, for settling so well to life here at Wenhaston Primary.
