On Friday we started our work on 'Super Salads and Smoothies.'Our job was to investigate a variety of fruit and vegetables for their appearance, nutritional value and how they can be used in our diet.We then used our THINKING SKILLS to decide how these products could be used in our dishes, and COMMUNICATION SKILLS to explain our ideas to our peers and teachers. http://pontyclunpri6.blogspot.com/2009/11/on-friday-we-started-our-work-on-super.html

The children have work together to decide which foods should be placed in the different sets. Lots of communication has taken place - from reading labels to discussing where objects should go. http://pontyclunpri5.blogspot.com/2009/06/science-investigating-food-packaging.html

This morning J5 and J6 went on a note taking exercise around Pontyclun. The task was to take notes on the entire journey, tomorrow the children will write instruction texts on how to get to certain places using their notes to help them.
