Spaghetti Week

We wanted to know how much spaghetti we could eat in a minute!


We have had an exciting start to the half term with a focus on spaghetti. Before half term we compiled an enormous list of questions we wanted to ask about spaghetti. We started this week with a day in class 3 to enable us to use the computers for our research. We worked in pairs to answer some of the questions. There were some we couldn't answer and some which we weren't sure of, for example do wolves really eat spaghetti with avocado???
On Tuesday we actually made spaghetti and we had the chance to eat it for lunch but only 11 of us did. Most of us at least tried it! In the afternoon we went to the village hall and measured how long it was in spaghetti and then played a spaghetti game!
On Wednesday we investigated how many pieces of spaghetti there were in a pack and how much would fit in various containers. We then had a fantastic time making sculptures. We started with clay or a box/container and added spaghetti! We created some very interesting pieces...Finn's eagle was particularly impressive.
On Thursday and Friday we finished things off and then presented all the information we had learnt during the week.
Also this week we met Miss Redfearn, a PGCE student who will be working with us this term and next.
