In science, we investigated Peppered Moths. They used to be with black dots, but as their environment became more dirty from pollution, they have adapted to become black so that birds cannot find them and eat them. We made some dotted moths and some black moths and hid them in an area of the playground for our partners to find.
In RSHE, we thought about how to promote positive self-esteem we played games thinking about what we are good at and then complimented each other. We all had much better self-esteem by the end of the lesson.
We used our measuring skills to solve real life problems in our playground. We learned we had to measure accurately to get the correct answers.
