Mystery Skype

On Friday we took part in our first 'Mystery Skype'. This is a game played by two classrooms on Skype. The aim of the game is to guess the location of the other class by asking each other questions. First, we got out our world map, clipboards, paper, pens and cameras. Next, we discussed how we were going to collect information. Each child was given a sheet with the questions we were planning to ask. We waited excitedly for the Skype call to come through...

Our first 'Mystery Skype' came through at 9.15am from Ms MacLean's class. We introduced ourselves and we discussed how the call would be conducted – we were very impressed by their professionalism and organisation of questions.

Here we are engrossed in our Skype conversation.

Native American Headdress

This week we learnt that all Native Americans wore a feathered headdress they were 

mainly worn by Native Americans from the Plains region. They were only awarded for 

brave acts and even then they only earned one feather! Each time the chief, warrior, or 

other important tribe member committed a brave act, a feather was added.  Therefore, 

the more feathers in the headdress, the braver he was.

The most prized of all feathers to receive for an Indian headdress was the Golden Eagle 

feather. Because the Indians saw the eagle as a messenger of God, this feather could only

 be earned through hardship, loyalty, and strength.

What do you think of our headdresses? 

Fitness DVD

This week has been a lot of fun but also a lot of hard work on our muscles because Y4P have been making fitness DVDs.

We had to know a lot of exercises and specifically which muscles they worked so we could explain to our watchers what to do. Not only that, after watching Miss Prest’s fitness DVD and the energetic Mr Motivator, we knew we had to be enthusiastic throughout.

Art using triangles!

We have been learning about different types of triangles. We drew a selection of equilateral, isosceles and scalene triangles making sure they overlapped each other and created new triangles. We then categorised these new triangles. 

Can you see how many of each triangle we have used?
