Author visit: Ulf Sindt

The children have been reading/working with books by Ulf Sindt in preparation for his visit. And his visit was absolutely wonderful. He totally entranced the children with his stories. Not only did he tell the children about the books he had written, he told them stories from his childhood, and gave an insight into the books to come.

               

The children were hanging onto each word Ulf Sindt uttered.

               

The children were very inspired by Ulf's visit and sat and wrote their own stories and read them out.

Space: making eclipse viewers and the solar eclipse

The whole class at work:  making eclipse viewers out of cereal/pasta boxes.  

       

       

         

   Here are the children testing out the eclipse viewers they made. Hoorah! It works! They see the reflection of the sun at the bottom of their boxes. They should be able to see the eclipse if the weather permits!

         

           

Trying to look at the eclipse with our eclipse viewers.

The children worked on a solar system mobile. The first stage was coloring the planets.

Next, they had to put the mobile together.
