In our Unit of Inquiry from 'Field to Table' we visited a windmill in Alcabideche. Take a look at the slideshow. The children thoroughly enjoyed the activities! We learned about the different types of windmills and the purpose of a windmill! The wind wasn't blowing hard enough so the workers turned on an engine so that the huge stone wheel would work. We saw wheat crushed and turned into flour. We sieved the flour and kneaded the dough. Then we made bread rolls! The most exciting part was waiting for the bread to bake and eating it! We made paper ice cream cones in class and learned about the ingredients and the processes involved in making ice cream! Natalia's mom is going to class to demonstrate how ice cream is made at home and we will be able to taste it!. This coming week,Tuesday, we are going to the farm.
In reading and maths we reviewed work from the previous week. We reviewed the long /a/ and /i/ sounds and worked with the word families. In math we reviewed odd and even numbers!
