What we've been up to...
September
In Literacy, we read the book 'Marcy and the Riddle of the Sphinx'. Marcy had lots of fears. Her father went to Egypt to get a book to help her overcome her fears but he got in trouble so Marcy travelled to save him. We wrote a suspense narrative about the rescue with short snappy sentences, show not tell, and powerful adverbs.
In 4P's music lessons, we have learnt the notes B, A G on the recorder so that we can perform the song Merrily We Roll Along. Listen to our first performance.
October
To help us learn about the Egyptians we had an Egyptian Day. We enjoyed coming to school dressed up as pharaohs. During the day we solved hieroglyphic codes, completed an 'excavation' to learn about the Ancient Egyptians from artefacts and even learned about mummification by mummifying tomatoes!
November
In science we have started learning all about the properties of solids, liquids and gases. There were some materials which were a bit confusing such as jelly (because it is a solid when it is set but a liquid before it is set) and rice (because you can pour it like a liquid but we learnt each grain is a solid). We also made some Oobleck which is a non-Newtonian fluid meaning it is normally a liquid but under pressure it turns into a solid. This is the recipe for making Oobleck at home.
