We have had a fantastic day celebrating World Book Day! We went on a book hunt around school then took part in lots of fun activities including making dream jars and Snozzcumber sandwiches. Everyone in 7 Blue dressed up as a character from a Roald Dahl book and looked amazing!
Year 5 have been extremely lucky to learn some new dance moves!
We took part in an Indian dance work-shop and learnt the steps to a very famous song, “Jai Ho”. We put the steps together in sequence and performed our work-shop dance as a year group.
Everyone was on board learning the moves, and having a lot of fun on the way.
Well done Year 5!
The children in Key Stage 2 have been enjoying stories in French this week to celebrate World Book Day – La Journée du livre (translates as the Day of the Book)
Year 3 listened to the story ” Toutes les couleurs “( All the colours) Year 4 read the story “Le loup qui voulait changer de couleur” ( The wolf who wanted to change colour) Year 5 enjoyed the story “Pâques Schtroumpfantes” ( Smurphing Easter) The children then completed a book review for the story.
This week, Year 4 have been studying the works of Dutch post-impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh. First we found out a little about him, then we had a class critique of some of his art work. We looked at the style of his work and the way that he used lines to create different moods and images.
Finally, after practising different techniques, we tried to recreate one of van Gogh’s more famous pieces ‘Starry Night’. Van Gogh painted it from memory during the day, as he was not able to paint from his bedroom. But he was able to create sketches in ink and charcoal and it was these sketches that we recreated. Have a look at some of our fabulous sketchbook and art work.
This week year 1 spent some time with Williby Roc’s in our school garden. They listened to the story of Superworm then they went on a bug hunt. We then all created the signs ‘ACHIEVE’ and ‘TOGETHER’ which will form part of our school motto.
In DT we designed and created a congratulations card for the winner of the class election that took place just before half-term. We designed a card that had a moving part, using levers and linkages. Once we finished creating our cards, we evaluated them. We discussed what we liked about our designs, the challenges we faced and how we would improve or change our design if we did it again.
