3D Lego maps!

Our Geography topic this half term is Maps. We have discussed who uses maps and why we need them.
Last week we were using directional vocabulary to help a partner complete an assault course...blindfolded! We had to work really hard to use specific instructions to help our partner safely complete the course.

This week we were looking at maps of our school. In groups we used Lego to build a map of our school. Here are some pictures of our 3D maps in progress.




Chocolate cake!

Last week we were learning to appreciate poetry in our English lessons. We watched Michael Rosen perform his poem 'Chocolate Cake' on the internet. We loved how he described the cake and his facial expressions as he pretended to eat the cake.

We discussed lots of vocabulary to describe the chocolate cake:
Scrummy, delicious, scrumptious, tasty, gooey, creamy, spongy, melt in the mouth were a few of our favourite adjectives to describe chocolate cake.

Of course, we couldn't really describe the chocolate cake without having a taste ourselves!
