In English, we read the second story in 'Claude in the City' and heard about Claude's trip to the hospital and how he makes everybody better. We compared the two stories and identified similarities and differences between them. In both stories a problem arises and Claude manages to solve the problem and saves the day. First we planned and then we wrote our own adventures for Claude using this idea. We have also enjoyed having a hospital themed role play in the base so that we can imagine ourselves as doctors, nurses and patients.
We have continued learning about materials in Science and this week we learned about floating and sinking. We each made a prediction about whether the 6 objects would float or sink when placed in water and then we tested them to see if our predictions were accurate. Next week is Science Week, so we are looking forward to carrying out more investigations and science-based challenges.
We are looking forward to World Book Day tomorrow and have lots of fun activities lined up. We will share some of the photos with you after the event!
