Week three has been another busy week in Hoy class. We started the week by learning about the importance of our eyes. We learnt about the different parts of our eyes and the jobs they had.
Then we thought about what we use our eyes for, We all agreed our eyes were very important in helping us see the world around us. We thought about what it would be like to loose our eyesight. We then closed our eyes and took part in some games which involved a lot of giving a lot of trust to our friends.
We looked at some optical illusions to think about the different parts our eyes use to focus. We realised that sometimes our eyes can play tricks on us!
We had to describe a picture to a partner who then had to draw the picture. It wasn't as easy as we thought it might be!
On Wednesday we were very lucky to get a visit from the Lidl Health Bus. We all boarded the bus and begun the lesson by watching a video about how to keep ourselves safe, clean and healthy.
We then received our recipe cards and chose three types of fruit for our own smoothies.
We cut the fruit up into small pieces then popped it into the jugs.
Then it was put into the smoothie maker.
They were very tasty!!
Afterwards we were taken to the hall for some exercise. We had to test our pulse rates before and after exercise. We all managed to raise our heartbeats by doing physical activity.
We also had to do some last minute adjustments to our skeletons this week as a few broken bones occurred!! They are now fit and healthy!!
We spent time thinking about our characteristics this week. We constructed a table of results showing hair colours, eye colours, lengths of hair and whether anyone in the class had freckles or glasses. We then cut up tissue paper into squares so that we can make a large graph showing these results on our classroom window. We hope to finish this next week.
