Sophie was so kind to bring in her snakes skin for us all to look at today!
Sophie told us all about how snakes shed their skin to allow for further growth and to remove parasites that may have attached to their old skin. As a snake grows, its skin becomes stretched. Unlike human skin, a snakes skin doesn't grow as the animal grows. Eventually, snakes reach a point where further growth is not possible.
Another little girl who is snake mad in our class was even able to tell us if it was a boy or a girl snake from its scales! We can confirm it is a boy and his name is Popcorn.
Check out our photos and see if you can see it’s eyes!
Today we had our second Mandarin Chinese lesson with Sun. Last week we learnt how to say hello, goodbye and thank you whilst learning all about the moon festival. This week we learnt how to count to five through singing and dancing. It was great fun and we can’t wait until next week!
On Thursday we loved doing practical maths stations. In our groups we rotated round different stations of games and activities. We have been learning to double numbers, round, multiply and divide.
We have really been enjoying our current class novel Charlotte’s web. Today we read chapter 7 where poor Wilbur was told that he was being fattened up so he could be turned into ham! We then got into groups of 3 and acted this chapter out. We got into character as Charlotte, Wilbur and The sheep. Check out some of our videos!
