Bonjour !
I’d like to share with you a fun , game based language app that will help your child practice their French language skills at home.
‘Glurbs’- has been created by the Language Angels Team, the scheme we use in school for our French teaching from Years 3 to 6.
It provides ‘learning through play’ in an interactive format the children will love to use at home.
We would just like to say a great big thank you to all our parents and careers who took the time to join us for our parents workshop this week. It was lovely to see so many of you! I know the children loved having you here to share some of our ideas and activities around activities.
In our P.E sessions we have been looking at the skill of jumping and that there are many different ways to jump. We have travelled safely whilst jumping and made up a jumping routine with our friends. We have even been learning how to do a standing long jump (Olympics team watch this space!). We have a jumping great time.
Today the children practiced their exchanging skills by competing against a partner to be the first to reach a given total. To reach their total they were required to exchange the following: ten ones for one ten, ten tens for one hundred and ten hundreds for one thousand.
In our Learning Means The World theme ‘Inter-Nation Media Station’ we have been looking at how tv shows, radio broadcasts and interviews are made. We have looked at the first radio broadcast and the first tv broadcast that changed from black and white to colour. We can not quite believe that some of our Teachers were around when there were only 4 TV channels and they had not heard of a remote control! We love learning about how far our technology has come and we decided to have a go at animating our own character and adding a voice to it. We then discussed what technological advances the future may hold ….time machine perhaps?
We have definitely embraced Autumn in Reception this week! Making Autumn wands, repeating patterns and prints and capacity using conkers. The children have been using their Sounds Write skills and emerging handwriting to write sounds and words. A very busy and fabulous week ❤️
This week in Learning Means The World, the children have been practising, adapting and improving their printing skills. The children used lino pads and carving tools to create multi-layered block printed pictures. Well done Year 4.
In Year 1, we have been looking at instructions and how we use them. Today, we decided to make a witch’s brew using lots of different ingredients. We used our imagination when making the brew and changed the name of the ingredients to fit the theme of Halloween. We used sequencing vocabulary to orally tell our friends how to make the brew before finally drinking it. We loved being witches in this lesson!
We loved having our parents join us for our reading and phonics workshop. We hope you had lots of fun and enjoyed seeing us working hard.
As part of the Four Seasons project, we carried out an investigation to answer ‘Do all trees change colour in Autumn?’ We went on an autumn walk, observing and collected various autumnal objects. We discovered that some trees are deciduous and some are evergreen. We also learnt that some birds migratre south for the warmer weather.
With the things we collected along the way, we created some artwork inspired by Richard Shilling. We are really proud of our creations!
