Show Don't Tell! - The Little Mermaid!

In English, we are writing a warning story and using part of The Little Mermaid as our model text and to base our writing around. During this lesson, we were focusing on using ‘show don’t tell’. This is where the writer uses clues such as body language, facial expressions and action to show how a character is feeling rather than directly saying it. In pairs, we created a freeze frame showing the contrast of emotions between Ariel and Flounder before exploring the shipwreck and how we could show this through body language. We then had a go at writing some of our own. Take a look at some of our freeze frames, can you work out who is Ariel and who is Flounder?

Science!

In Science this term, we have been learning about the digestive system, teeth and food chains. Below is a picture showing the results from our whole class egg-speriment we carried out. We put 4 eggs into 4 different liquids (vinegar, water, orange and coke) to see how it would impact the egg shell which has similar properties to enamel on our teeth. 
We have also made paper chain food chains where we looked at what the producer and the consumers are. 

Commotion in the Ocean

This term, our topic across school is 'Under the Sea'. We love this topic!
