Fire, Fire!

After we had made our houses from cardboard boxes, we took them outside.

 

We wanted to bring the story of The Great Fire of London to life, to have an idea of what it was like in 1666.

 

Mr. Rilings came outside with us to keep us safe and we set our boxes on fire!!

 

We were very excited! Have a look at these pictures and videos!

We have been recycling ourselves in our class. We have used boxes from food and objects to make our own houses! These are our houses from the great fire of London! We used lollypop sticks to make windows and door frames.

Next time you put a food box in the recycling bin, think about whether you could recycle it yourselves by making a model from it like we have! 
Here are some photos of us making them and some of our houses that are finished.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After we learnt all about what recycling means, we decided to make some posters to help others learn about it too!
 
Here are some of our posters.

What a load of Rubbish!

This week is Science Week!

To start off the week, we sorted items into recycling and non-recycling. We learnt about what happens to items that are recycled and about the bins we use to recycle objects in. We were also looking for the recycle sign on our items.

Can you think of some things that can be recycled?

Here are some photos of us sorting our items and looking for the recycle signs!

Welcome back!

A big thank you from all of us, to Basma, for giving up her time to talk to us about Egypt.

THANK YOU!!

Arabic looks very different to English!  Do you think you could learn Arabic?

Egyptian Writing

Writing in Arabic

Basma wrote in Arabic. When writing in Arabic, you start at the right of the page and work across to the left. In English, we write from the left to the right. 

Learning all about Egypt.

Basma came into our class to talk to Owls and Dinosaurs about Egypt.

We found out about the Pyramids- they took 80 years to build! The largest pyramid is made up of 2 million bricks!!!

The pyramids were built  and used as tombs. Basma showed us pictures of the pyramids.

We also saw pictures of Cairo, which is where Basma lived with her family. We saw the River Nile. The Red Sea, where lots of people take their holiday, looked lovely. If you dive or snorkel, you can see some beautiful coloured fish. Our talk was really interesting.

Dressing up day

                               Wow, Owls look amazing!

Well done everybody.

Aliens and Parents!!!
