What's the time Mr Wolf? 18.03.16

This week in Maths we have been learning about time. We made a giant clock on the playground and took turns to be the minute and hour hand. We found out that: "When it is o'clock the minute hand is pointing at the twelve and when it is half past it is pointing at the six."


In English we continued our poetry work. We read the poem 'Hickory Dickory Dock' and thought about what words rhymed with the different times the clock struck.
One: fun, bun, done
Two: Shoe, Few, Phew, chew, moo, queue
Three: me, tea, knee, key, bee
Four: door, core, more
Five: Dive, drive, hive

We then used the words we had generated to write our own verse for the poem:
Hickory Dickory Dock,
The Mouse ran up the clock,
The clock struck six,
The mouse did some tricks,
Hickory Dickory Dock.


In Science this week we carried out our chocolate investigation.
We wanted to know what would happen when you put chocolate into cold, hot and fizzy water and this is what we found out:
"The chocolate in the hot water went like hot chocolate. It was all gooey."
"The chocolate in the fizzy water went fizzy. It had bubbles all over it!"
"Nothing happened to the chocolate in the cold water."
Miss Howells then showed us how to create a freezer using salt and ice and we put the melted chocolate in the freezer to see what would happen.


This week was our last week of rehearsals for our Year 1 play 'Rise and Shine.' 
We are now ready to perform it in front of an audience and can't wait to do a dress rehearsal in our costumes on Monday!


Today we all came to school in our sporty clothes. We ran twice around the school to raise money for Sports Relief. It was SO FUN!
