Fabulous writing

"My rainmaker worked.  It made proper rain drops like real rain.  I can make it better if I could take the tea cup off." 

Rainmaker invention -testing

This week we have been inventors and we have designed and made our rainmakers.  We tested them today to see if they worked and what kind of down pours we would produce !!

We are now talking about the next phase in the design process:

We have made

We have tested 

We have reflected and evaluated 

Our next step is - making improvements.

We read 'In the Garden' .  We put our things into our basket and wrote our sentence.

We also did a cut up sentence to help us practise looking carefully at the beginning sounds of words.
