Hello and welcome to my blog.

What our pod is about

This term our pod has turned into Willy Wonka’s Chocolate factory. It’s so cool.

English

In English we have been learning about Charlie and the Chocolate factory, we have read the book and learned about the Grandparents. We have been using adjectives, noun phrases and adjectives to describe people. Today we invented our own funny Oompa Loompas ready for the new chapter of the book that we are going to write.

Guided reading

In guided reading we are answering questions about Charlie and the chocolate Factory. Today we wrote a letter to Willy Wonka from Prince Pondicherry to thank him for the chocolate palace that he built. It made us all feel very hungry!

RE

In RE we are learning about memories and remembering using a memory box, a scrap book or a diary. We are all bringing items in to talk about with Miss Stewart and put in our year group memory box.

Science – Sound

We have been learning about sound and vibrations. Sound is made by a vibration, the bigger the vibration the louder the sound. The sound travels in waves, it hits your eardrum and it travels all the way through your inner ear and it sends messages to you brain. A few days ago we filmed a ourselves presenting a program about sound and Mrs Hebden thought it was great because we used the science vocabulary.

Today we were scientists and we investigated how sound travels, we used paper cup telephones to find out if the longest, medium or shortest string was the loudest. This was really good fun and we discovered that the shortest string was the loudest phone because the sound waves didn’t have to travel as far. Issac said “Its like a car that runs our of petrol when it gets far away.”
