Term 2 - Food Science chemical reactions and Math Fractions

-

 What a busy start to our new term.  We've immediately begun investigating chemical reactions, including how food matter changes when combined and cooked.  Check out the gas reactions we had with combining lemon juice, vinegar or water with baking soda or baking powder.       We have also moved on to looking at fractions, especially their size and which are bigger or smaller that each other.  I can see it won't be long before we start sharing out jelly beans and cutting cake to work out how to share it evenly.

Creating repeating and growing patterns for Algebra

 The last few days we have been challenging each other with working out if we have been making repeating or growing patterns in Maths.  We have also been finding ways to make a code to follow so that we can name the patterns we have also been making or studying, and also beginning to predict what will come next in the sequence. Today we began working on increasing and decreasing pattern sequences, and how tables can be made to show the changing patterns.  Our next challenge for tomorrow is to use each other's creations to predict what might come in the 5th, 10th or 12th position, or even the number of cubes we would need to make them.

And just like that we were into learning

 It has been a busy few weeks, not helped by the changing class numbers as families isolate.  We have had the chance though to review the 5Ws and H, work on extending a sentence to give it more detail for our readers, and now naming the parts in a sentence that actually provides the detail - verb/adverbs and nouns/adjectives. For art we have been mastering our scissor skills to create artwork using both positive and negative space: the art medium of Notan. And even in maths, working on our number skills; reading and understanding maths word problems; while also recognising how making models both out of equipment or in drawings can help us solidify and prove our ideas to solve the question. Lastly, it has been taking us some time to settle into what to do independently during our Daily 5 Reading programme.  Fingers crossed for being ready to work on this so that others can start their group reading. What we've been up to   and pingpong toss click on these video links...
