What we learned today 16/06/2015

Today we took a trip outside to our garden area to see if we could create a human skeleton out of sticks, twigs and branches! We got into two teams and searched the ground for suitable sticks. We then worked together as a group to try and recreate a human skeleton, remembering all of the different bones and their names! Here are some pictures of our work:

Techniquest - Inside Out

On Friday 12th June, Techniquest paid a visit to Llanhari Primary to teach us all about the human body! This was great for Class 4 as our topic this term is 'Bones, Blood and Gory Bits'! We learned about the human brain, the lungs, the digestive system and we also had the chance to investigate our different senses, the bones in our skeleton and even zoomed in close on our skin using a microscope camera! Here are some pictures of us learning:

Today we learnt about right angles in Maths. They are 90 degrees. We also learnt how to throw for  distance in PE.

Baking Bread!

This week, Class 4 had a go at making our very own bread that we had planned. We researched bread from different countries first, then designed our own, including special ingredients and unique shapes! 

We then put on our aprons and became chefs for the day. Here are some pictures of us baking:

Finally we tasted our bread and filled in an evaluation! We learned that 'yeast makes bread rise which makes it soft and fluffy inside'!

Our Class Trip to Frankie and Benny's

Class 4 and 5 went on a class trip to Frankie and Benny's today to learn about food from around the world for our new topic 'Global Gourmet'. While we were there, we started off by the manager Gemma telling us all about how Frankie and Benny's started and teaching us about the different dishes they sell, and how the food they use is transported to them by ships. For example, the cheesecakes they sell are made in Chicago! We were allowed to make our own fruity cocktails for our drink. We then got to make our very own pizzas, where we had to spread the special sauce on the pizza base ourselves, and choose our own toppings! 

We then watched the chef put our pizzas in the stone oven to cook. When they were done, we ate them and they were delicious! Everyone enjoyed the pizza's they made.

Everyone enjoyed the class trip and we learned loads about Italian food that we can use for our topic 'Global Gourmet'. Frankie and Benny's even made us all VIPs for life! Thank you Frankie and Benny's!
