Explaining: How Something Works or Happens

We have been looking at explanation texts and how they help us to understand how something works or how something happens. The BBC made a great series called 'Come Outside' where the character Auntie Mabel finds out how lots of things are made.  We will be looking at how crisps are made!  Below is a link to the video:

Come Outside - How Crisps Are Made

Use A Number Line For Addition

In class we have been looking at using a number line to help us add.  First we start on the biggest number.  Next we add the tens of the smallest number.  Finally we add the ones of the smallest number.  The number we land on is the answer to the problem. 

Watch the video below for an example:

Reciting Poems

Today we have been looking at poem by some famous (and not so famous) poets.  We have been trying hard to learn some off by heart.  We have brought home our poetry anthology tonight so we can show you.  Below are two of our favourites!

Today I Saw a Worm by Spike Milligan

Kiwis by Roger McGough

Thanks for reading, favouriting and sharing!

Edith Cavell Moving Pictures

Edith Cavell from

In History, we have been looking at World War One and one of the heroes of this period, Edith Cavell.  To begin with, we didn't know ANYTHING about her. We used the internet to find out information about her life and what she did in World War One. 

This led us to even more questions!

If you would like to find out some information, this is a great website: Edith Cavell

We have also been looking at moving picture and making mechanisms like levers and sliders.

We decided to mix these two together to tell other people about this great hero who looked after EVERYONE, not just the soldiers on her 'side'. 

We took some of the main parts of her life and illustrated them then animated them with sliders and levers.  Have a look below at the main events that we illustrated:

Edith Cavell leaving home.

Edith Cavell going learning to be a nurse.

Edith Cavell helping soldiers of all countries 

Edith Cavell about to be arrested.

Edith Cavell being shot by firing squad.
 

Here are all of our animated pictures:

Please leave a comment as we love to read them in class!

Thanks for reading.
