Observations

We have observed the ice cubes after half an hour.

"I can see that the ice cubes melted. The windowsill ice cube had melted the most." Naomi

Sceientists

Today we are experimenting with ice cubes.

We know that scientists always start with a questions. The question we asked was "What would happen if we put ice cubes in different parts of the classroom?"

We decided to put one ice cube on the windowsill, one ice cube in the cupboard and one ice cube in our insulated milk bag.

We wrote what we thought would happen. Our scientific predictions are called a hypothesis.

We will check each ice cube every half an hour and record our observations.

Dragon Similes

We are learning to write similes that compare two things.

We can use similes in our writing to make our stories more descriptive and interesting.

Read to Someone

Today we are learning to do another party of the Daily Five: Read to Someone.
We can choose a book from our group box and choose a partner to read to.
When our partner is reading, we need to listen to them. We can help them to work out tricky words.

We need to remember to sit EEKK - Elbow to Elbow, Knee to Knee. This is important because it means we can hear our partner read quietly to us, and the classroom doesn't become too noisy.

We are responsible learners!
