Our Compass Adventure

 

We had a maths lesson on compasses. The class was split up in to groups of three. We were all given different jobs to do.There is the compass job, computer job and the camera job as well.

We were each given a compass, computer

and a starting point. We always have to follow the red line and not the black line. The starting point that our group was given was the garden outside the year 2  classroom. Our task was to find all the compass points from our starting location. 

Here is our presentation of our group's compass adventure.

Dirt

By James B, Benjamin and Michael

We are learning about dirt in Science. So far we know that dirt can be both smooth and hard. When it is raining the dirt sometimes becomes soggy. Soil is useful as it helps plants to grow and it protects the roots. Soil can be dark chocolate coloured. It usually has rocks and roots in it. Dirt is a natural material found in the earth. Dirt is considered “the skin of earth.” Dirt can be man made or natural.
