Thursday 3rd March
Today we started reading ‘The Diary of Anne Frank’. Anne received her diary as a present for her birthday. We learnt many things about Anne in the first few entries. She feels that she has many friends without any close friend. She explained how she doesn’t confide in her friends and therefore feels alone. For this reason, she decided to write her diary entries as if she was talking to a close friend …. whom she would call … Kitty.
Take a look at the following links if you are interested to learn more 🙂

Have some fun solving these puzzles!
You could get the whole family involved and challenge your parents 🙂
We have completed sudoku puzzles on the netbooks.
On average, each puzzle took 7 mins. Challenge yourself to beat 7minutes!
You can select your own level.
Today we made white and milk chocolate truffles, to give as a Christmas present.
We made boxes for our truffles, put our sweets inside, resting on colourful tissue paper and then tied the delicious parcel with a ribbon. We hope our families enjoy them.
We got to sneak a few for ourselves also – Look at the chocolate faces! Dear oh dear 🙂 PhotoStory1

We wrote debates in literacy.
Here’s a small selection for you to read.
Can you spot the debate phrases we used?
We ended our debates with a proverb.

In science we have been learning about the GDA on food packaging.
Guideline Daily Amounts (GDAs) is a nutrition facts label designed to help consumers (shoppers) make sense of the nutrition information provided on food labels. They translate science into consumer friendly information, providing guidelines on pack that help consumers put the nutrition information they read on a food label into the context of their overall diet.
GDAs are guidelines for healthy adults and children about the approximate amount of calories, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrate, total sugars, protein, fibre, salt and sodium required for a healthy diet.
GDAs are now in widespread use across the food industry and appear both on the front and back of food packaging.
Did you know ?
The nutrition table on the back of food packaging is in order of the contents highest to lowest. This way, the consumer can see very clearly if there is more salt than sugar etc.
It’s FUN to learn new information but REMEMBER – A balanced diet is the best 🙂
BONES BONES BONES!
We sang ‘Dem Bones’ using the correct names!
