Hockey skills....

We have completed our hockey skills sessions. We were good - budding little black sticks.
We know:

•  to keep our sticks down at all times
• the correct position for holding the hockey stick
• to keep our eyes on the ball
• to put the ball between our legs and waddle like a penguin

Measurement 1

We are talking about volume. Not loud and soft, but how much a container holds. We are comparing the volume of different containers.

We used a cup to find out how much water our container would hold.

But we had to use blocks to find the volume of our boxes.

 

Henry is using the numicon to help him work out how many rods would fit in his container.

Music and things....

While we learn to play the recorder we are practising many skills.

We:

• listen
• follow with our eyes
• keep the beat
• sing the melody
• play as part of a group

Morning Read

Every morning before we begin the day we read. Usually it is the book we had taken home the night before.
