Scratch Jnr, by Mrs Fletcher
Date: 4th Jul 2016 @ 8:07pm
This afternoon the Giraffes worked with the Year 5 children to develop their Scratch Jnr skills. Scratch Jnr is a programming app on the iPads which the children learnt to use last year. The Year 5 children did a fantastic job teaching the class how to make their characters speak, add more characters and to make characters disappear.
Next week the Year 5 children are going to set the class some challenges to complete.
Scratch Jnr is free to download on iPads from the App Store .
Estimating measurements, by Mrs Pratten
Date: 4th Jul 2016 @ 3:58pm
The Bears enjoyed using their estimating skills when comparing measurements. They had to use a ruler, choose something to measure and then estimate whether it would be bigger or smaller than their ruler. Then guess again how many rulers it would be eg half, three and then measure accurately. The Bears were brilliant and showed excellent measuring skills.

Oh I Do like to be beside the seaside, by Mrs Fletcher
Date: 1st Jul 2016 @ 11:36am
Today the Giraffes have spent the day at the virtual seaside. The day started learning about seaside holidays in the past they were very interested to learn about bathing machines and the fact that you were charged a penny to sit on a bench on the beach. The next challenge was to design an amazing sandcastle. Later on the children will be writing sea side themed poems and learning a seaside song in music.

The naughty bus 1, by Mrs Hothersall
Date: 30th Jun 2016 @ 12:41pm
On Tuesday we read a story all about a naughty bus. He got up to all kinds of mischief. We then created some of the areas that he visited in outperform classroom. It took us a very long time and we were very proud. On Wednesday morning we came into class and found lots of areas that had been messed up. We all became police officers and investigated the mess. It took all morning and then we found out it had been the naughty bus.
we had to write police reports and we are just deciding what will happen to the naughty bus......

It has been an action packed day today. We had breakfast this morning which was delicious and then we split off into two groups. One group went up to Becon Fell this morning for orienteering and the other group had survival skills with Jack. We then swapped over this afternoon (which is when we got a little soggy due to the weather) then we had an amazing dinner of Chilli Con Carne. Mrs Brown and Mr Pearson visited us this evening and we visited the tuck shop, took part in Mrs Ainsworth's famous bin bag fashion and had a really nice evening.
