Experiment time

a taped it so it  we had to get tin foil and put it

We were reading about heat and energy in science. My teacher told us that we were making solar panels and we needed a pizza box, tin foil, cling film, a ruler, black paper, newspaper, marshmallows, chocolate and a bowl.  The teacher numbered us 1 to 6 we all had different jobs, next we had to open the pizza box and line it with black paper. After that we had to cut the newspaper into stripes and twist them we had to get cling film and sell o taped it on to the base of the box over the part we put the black paper on then we got a ruler and  attached it on were we cut the half square. Finally we got chocolate and put it in a bowl, we put the food warmer somewhere the sun reflects on the tin foil and when the chocolate melted we dipped marshmallows into it. We had completed making our solar panel food warmer.

Bizzy Breaks

Over the past few weeks, we have been doing busy breaks. It is to make ourselves feel good and ready for work and everything. We have been doing ‘’workouts for kids’’ and dancing to songs. Busy breaks is a really good idea. We always do busy breaks after big break. It’s really fun to do it with your friends and we even did busy break outside with the help of maths. its really fun when you get used to it and also we have music when we do it inside for our workout.

Peer tutoring

Two weeks ago we started it. There will be a pair of students assigned to each other by a teacher. The first 10 minutes would be spent reading, the tutor would read for the first 5 minutes and the tutee would listen to make sure they don’t pronounce anything wrong. Then the tutee reads the last 5 minutes, if the tutee was to struggle or pronounce a word wrong the tutor underlines it. Then the next part again which would also spend time for 10 minutes doing dictionary work on the words that was underlined, and the tutee writes down the underlined words on a piece of paper, then a teacher would come and check if you pronounce the underlined words correctly and sometimes its meaning. Then the fun part! For the last 10 minutes you play games with the words the tutee written down! Trust me, it’s more fun than it sounds! There are 3 games you can choose from but you can make up your own! That’s all that happens, but 30 minutes really go by fast!
