This week we are learning about invertebrates.
How are invertebrates different to vertebrates?
List some animals that are invertebrates.
Find out some of the main groups of invertebrates.
Are there more vertebrates or invertebrates in the World?
Today we are learning about the way animals are classified. Classification is how we put things into groups. Can you write on the blog about the “characteristics” of each group?
We really enjoyed our day at Farmwise, Exeter. There were lots of different zones-we learned about food, animals and the environment and had the opportunity to meet lots of different people who have jobs in the farming industry.
We really enjoyed the performance of ‘Apple John’ by the incredible Theatre Alibi. We will be writing reviews to tell you all about it.
As Wild Explorers we have been learning how to light fires and build dens. We also got caught on a mud slide!
We enjoyed taking part in The Big Bang event at Great Torrington School where we learned more about science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
We had the opportunity to measure our blood pressure, pulse, peak flow and listen to our hearts beat.
In the second workshop we learned how to use a green screen and camera to impose ourselves in to a James Bond film. We all really enjoyed dressing up!
We also had the opportunity to meet people who work in industries using science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Fantastic performances all round at the cross country. Great support as well!
Today Class 4 built upon their knowledge on electrical circuits. They built parallel and series circuits with buzzer, bulbs and dimmer switches. The dimmer switches are called variable resistors.
We have been learning about different ways to build a shelter from natural materials. We worked in teams to build shelters in Coombe Woods.
We enjoyed our start to the topic and becoming Wild Explorers. We played games in the woods, identified trees, learned how to play the grass trumpet, cooked on the fire, had fun in the tipis, played in the mud kitchen, made sun art, invented rain dances, set up a weapon shop, climbed trees and rolled down hills. What fun we had!
