The Felican!

In Reading/ Science we made our own birds. We had to make sure why we chose the beak, tail, feet, color and habitat.This is my bird called the felican

Excita-bill

Pointed beak, flat beak and pelican beak are all the types of beaks we used for this discovery.But these things are also known as forceps, tongs and cups. First we learnt about the meanings of the words we need to know like, aim. Aim means trying to achieve something in the experiment we were trying to see what shape beak is the best for picking up food. And we learnt what
will we change( the equipment), What we will measure ( the amount of food) and how we will keep it a fair test. The way we can make it a fair test by having a nice steady surface, by having the same person doing each type of food also by having the same amount of time of 30 seconds. We had an amazing time experimenting with rice, peppercorns, gummy worms and skittles and after we got to eat LOLLIES. Thank you Miss Down for this amazing experiment

Figurative Language

Idiom, hyperbole, alliteration, metaphor, onomatopoeia, similes and personification. These are all language features which we call figurative language. In reading we have been learning about these language features and how authors used them in their writing to make their work engaging and add interest for their audience. We made posters either with paper pencils or flowers with examples and definitions of the language feature.Here is our figurative language poster.

Inspirational heroes

During Reading we have been researching people who have faced challenges and have stood up for what they believed in. They have either been a voice for those that don't have one or a person who never gave up when facing challenges.
