Sharing Our Summarising by Story Tree House

This week Story Tree House has been learning how to summarise different parts of non fiction texts. Can you identify some feedback and feedforward for us based on the success criteria for summarising?

Cross Country

Today we had the school cross country!

We had to run around the field, through and around the school, and then around the field again.

The older learners had to even run around the wetlands! 

When we weren't running we got to watch and cheer for our friends, which was really exciting.

Once we finished the race we were given a hot chocolate to warm ourselves up.

Here are some photos from the day....

Traffic Light Experiment

Traffic Light Drink!

Today we had an exciting science experiment... we learned how to make a traffic light drink.

It was interesting to see that the drink can have different layers of colour.

Here are some photos of us making our drinks.  Make sure you check our blog soon to read some of our writing because it will explain how you can make one yourself!

This week for our concept "What makes a successful learner?" we had a challenge....

To collaborate to create a way of getting our toy animal across the DANGEROUS RIVER!!

We were given:

x10 sheets of paper / x1 piece of string / x1 yoghurt container / x2 straws / x8 rubber bands / x1 animal

We had only 20 minutes.  Here are some of the things we constructed...

Watch this space to see whose construction reached the other side of the river safely!
