Tigers@taddy

Tigers and Bears were given the challenge of making a taxis out of construction materials today. We started by looking at different vehicles and how they moved. Then the children identified the wheels, chassis and axles on each vehicle. The children then had chance to explore the different building materials, experimenting with axles, wheels and chassis to make their own taxi that could move.     Once we had finished, we evaluated our finished projects, discussing what went well and how we could improve next time.   

 Tigers and Bears joined together for their topic lesson today. We looked at arial photographs of and worked out where in the U.K they were taken. The children recognised lots of the landmarks and decided that they were arial photographs of London. We then went off into groups to annotate the photographs- labelling the human and physical features the children could spot in the photos.

 During science this term, we have been learning about the seasons. This afternoon, we have been finding ways to measure the wind. The children followed instructions for how to make wind socks then we went outside to hang them and observe the wind. We then got together in groups and used the Beaufort scale to decide how to categorise the wind. The children decided that today was number 3 on the scale as tales on the windsocks were gently moving and the windsock moved up and down. We also noticed that we could feel the wind lift our hair.
