Year 3 students invented a board about Day and Night for the year 1`s .

  The game was about the Yr 1 IBL Topic, "NIGHT AND DAY". 

      The Year 3`s made some counters for the students to use.


The Day/Night Game

Before you start:

It is a good idea to have look at the pictures, read the words and numbers on the

playing board. Then talk about the number patterns, animals, times, foods, and

greetings.

You will need:

Playing Board, Dice, Set of  4 Counters, Night/Day Cards

2-4 players.

How To Play:

Roll the dice to see who will start first.

The highest number rolled, goes first.


The first player rolls the dice and moves his/her counter along the board

He then picks a card from the pack. 

Is it a morning, noon, evening or night card?

He then has to say a sentence explaining the number he rolled on the dice

that matches up with the card he picked.


eg He got a morning card and he rolled a 1 so he must say Good Morning

He got a night card and rolled a 2 so he must name a nocturnal animal.

Dice Numbers 

  1. Say a greeting.

  2. Name an animal who would be awake at this time.

  3. Decide if it is am, pm, dawn or dusk, midnight, noon or midday.

  4. Name the meal you would you have and what you would eat and drink.

  5. Name an animal who would be asleep at this time.

  6. Name something you might do at this time and where might you be?


The next player rolls the dice and so on.

If you land on a red spot you have another turn. The numbers are

multiples of 5 and 10.

Year One students, carefully followed instructions, to make colourful windmills.

 




Each student made a windmill. Together they made a spectacular Windmill Totem Pole.



As the students swung the totem pole around, the windmills turned around and around.


As the students marched into the wind, the windmills turned around and around.


Each student had a turn swinging the pole across the yard and making the windmill twirl madly. It was a very colourful spectacle.

The Middle School has been looking at inventions. We decided to look at inventions children had made and we had a go at making them too.

 Earmuffs

By Isabella


Earmuffs are used to keep your ears warm. 

They look like hair bands but they have two big pom poms on each side.


The wire is for keeping the earmuffs together.


A fifteen year old boy got tired of the cold and he got his grandma to help him make earmuffs.

His name was Chester Greenwood.


In WW1 soldiers used them to keep their ears warm.


It was a great invention.

            


 Earmuffs 

By Kevin


These are to warm people's ears in winter.


Earmuffs are made of fluffy balls of fur,  a wire and come in rainbows of colour.


Put the wire on the top of your head so the wire can hold your earmuffs still. The two fluffy balls can warm ears and keep you cosy.


In the late 19th Century, a fifteen-year-old boy called Chester from the  USA, got very cold so he invented earmuffs. He got his grandma to put the wire into two fluffy balls of fur and he  put it on his head so he didn’t feel cold!


Soldiers in WW1 put earmuffs on their heads because it was so cold.

It was a great invention!


                               

 EarMuffs

By Lucas


Earmuffs are so important because they keep ears warm in winter.


The earmuffs are made of fur and wire. The fur on the earmuffs connect to the wire to keep the pom-poms in place.


In the late 19th Century a boy was fifteen years old and he discovered earmuffs. His name was Chester Greenwood.

He came from the USA.


His grandma put fur on the wire and this was how earmuffs were made.


In WW1 American soldiers used them to keep their ears warm.

It was a warm and useful invention.
