A new topic: Our Environment

Well, our topic of 'Myself and other animals' has now finished and we have enjoyed sharing the work that we did with you.


Our next topic is 'Our Environment'.  We will be finding out all about materials, rocks and what our environment is like.
We will use another Wallwisher page to post questions that we would like to find out about this new topic.
As we go on our learning journey, we should be able to post answers to our questions.



If you have any questions or comments about our environment (in Taipei) or the questions we ask, please feel free to leave them in the comments box below.

Found a fun letters graphic!

What makes us angry?

We are starting some work in our PSHE lessons on getting on and falling out.  We started by thinking of a list of things that make us angry.  We used tagxedo.com to present the words we chose.

Next, we will think about how we deal with situations that make us angry.

Teeth

This week we have been looking at teeth.  We have found out what the three different types of teeth are called and what jobs they do.


Can you match the tooth to the job it does?
Canine                                                        chewing and grinding
Molar                                                         biting and cutting
Incisor                                                        tearing and ripping

Here are some games to play to learn more about teeth:

We worked together to make sets of teeth.  One group made a very large set of teeth using paper.  The other groups made smaller sets of teeth out of play-doh.  It made for a fun, but very noisy lesson!

See what you think:

After the holiday, we will look at how we take care of our teeth.  We will be brushing our teeth and see if we do a good job!

Marvellous Menus

We have been looking at what makes for a healthy balanced diet.  We know that we should be eating our '5-a-day' and have been keeping a food diary to see how healthy and balanced our diet has been over the week.


Follow the link and you will see some of the menus that we designed.   




How healthy and balanced do you think they are?  What could we do to improve them?
