Pirate ships
As part of our DT project we have been making pirate ships. First the children learnt all the parts of a pirate ship and then designed one to make. After they had to ensure they had a list of materials and tools they would need. So, today the children have created organised chaos to make the structure of their ships. Tomorrow the children will be decorate and put the final touches to their pirates and finally evaluate the whole process.
Recording pirate facts
We have been hard at work continuing our theme of pirates in history today. We used fact sheets, videos, books and internet searches to find out and record facts about the famous pirates Blackbeard and Anne Bonny. Here are some of the childrens work Lewis, Brooke and Frankie L.
Recipe instructions
Today Puffin class have been following a recipe they created as part of our instructions unit. The children followed their instructions with a few hiccups along the way which they self corrected on their recipes ready to be written up as neat tomorrow. Hope they taste delicious.
Instruction writing
Well done to all of Puffin class who have worked so hard this week to learn about instruction writing. Today they demonstrated their new knowledge by being able to rearranging mixed up instructions including the title, introduction, what you will need and method.
