In our PE sessions on Wednesdays, we are doing some gymnastics.
This week, we learned the skills for performing a forward roll.
After we had learned the skills, we had a go at putting them together to do a forward roll.
We tried really hard and some of us were really good at them.
In our other PE sessions, on Fridays, we are doing some fitness work.
We tried out different activities and exercises and counted how many we could do in the time we were given.
We are always shattered at the end of these sessions!
In DT, we continued our work on developing a spaghetti bolognese recipe.
This week, we looked at the nutritional value of the ingredients used in a spag bol.
We used an excel spreadsheet to help us calculate the nutritional value of our recipe. We experimented with removing and adapting some of the ingredients.
These two worked on understanding different food groups and what a balanced meal should include.
In Geography, we continued learning about South America.
This week, we looked at various landmarks, buildings, statues, mountains and more and sorted them according to whether they are human or physical features.
We then recapped each of the South American countries by solving the clues to complete a crossword. From this, we chose one country we’d like to focus on….
….we then carried out some research about our chosen country to write as a geographer.
We used the iPads to carry out our research and will write this into a mini report about the countries.
