Today, we had a visit from the author James Nicol. We listened to his inspiring story of how he became an author. Then we played which, witch is which? Even the teachers got involved.
In Year 5, we are learning all about gestation periods. In groups, we predicted how long each mammal's gestation period is. Victoria said, "I think the elephant has the longest gestation period as it is the biggest" Nelly agreed with this prediction and said, "The mouse's gestation period must be really short as they are small." After, we researched the gestation periods and found lots of our predictions were correct.
Today, we have been exploring the use of micro:bits to code our own disco dance. We coded the micro:bit to start and stop the motor as well as adding light patterns with LED strips.
