Firewise

We were learning about how to be safe when there is a fire. We watched some video clips, read some poems and we even had a visit from a fireman to teach us more about what to do. 

Here are some of our posters that we have created about fire safety. There are some more in our writing blog too.

Our message to you is:

• Check that you have working fire alarms installed in your house
• Create a plan of action for your family 
• In the case of a fire: Get low, get down get out! Do it fast! 

Spring is in the air with the arrival of the baby chicks.

We have been lucky enough to have the baby chicks visiting our room. They still need to be under the heat lamp as they were too small to keep themselves warm. Everyone thought that they were pretty special and very cute

                    

                   

The little chicks stole the hearts of everyone.

Print Making

WALT make prints.

This is how we made it. 

• take wool and wind it around a wooden block
• tape the ends of the wool down to ensure it doesn't come loose
• paint over the one side of the block
• make eight prints (two up, two sideways)
• make two rows of the prints. 

Creating our own instruments

We have been learning about sound and how sound influences how we feel. 

The song by Gary Barlow, "Sing" was our inspiration to create our own instruments. Listen to the song and watch the video to see how creative people are, in different countries and all over the world. 

Here is the link: Sing by Gary Barlow

We have also discovered that music is an international language and that you do not need to understand the words to understand or feel the music. 

Here are some of the instruments we have created. We played these instruments along with the song too. It sounded amazing. 

Olivia filled these tins with water and she made two symbals.

  

               

We have used waste materials like plastic containers, gift wrap, cardboard, elastic bands, shells, etc.  to create our instruments. 

Reading is all around us

We were finding out how reading can help us. This is what we found in and around the school. 





Reading can help us stay safe like when you read this sign.

This sign helps us to be kind to others. The pictures help us to understand the words.  

Sometimes pictures have words in them like this tree. This mural tells people more about Clevedon School and words and pictures were used in it. 

We can read numbers like the ones on this clock. Other numbers can be the numbers on a number plate or our telephone numbers. They are all important. 

                                            

We can also read symbols like these arrows. 

Making a Kazoo

We are learning about sound and how it is made. We have discovered that a sound is a vibration that travels through the air from one place to another. We hear the sound when the vibration reaches our ears. 


We wanted to create something that could show us what a vibration looks like so we made kazoos. You only need an empty toilet roll, wax paper and a rubber band.

Here is a video link for you to look at if you want to make one too.

How to make a kazoo

We experimented with tissue paper, foil, normal paper, etc. to see if we could improve the sound. Our conclusion: we liked the sound the wax paper made best. It didn't let the air through like the tissue paper and it wasn't too thick either. The sound did drive our parents a bit crazy because we some of us just couldn't stop playing these kazoos.
