This week in PE, we have been learning about different ways to run and jump. We played a lovely game called “Here come the sharks!” where the children had to run away from the sharks to avoid being caught. We also did a jumping carousel, where the children practiced how to jump in different ways. They did star jumps, tuck jumps, pencil jumps and loads more! We were exhausted at the end of it!
2 Red have been working hard on their mathematical skills this week. As a team they developed their communication skills to create a human number line and were able to reason from this.
This week in year 4 we have been learning about ‘electricity’. The children have created their own circuits, recognising the equipment needed to successfully light up a bulb. As well as this, the children have completed an investigation into which materials are conductors and insulators.
As part of our ‘ Mission Control’ theme we have been looking at the movement of the Earth and how this can affect where the sun is positioned in the sky. We have also investigated how the time of day can change the length of our shadows.
In Learning Means the World we have been looking at weight and measurement in our DT/Maths aspect of the curriculum, so we decided to make cookies like Little Red Riding hood did to take to her grandma. We looked at all the ingredients needed, followed a recipe and weighed and measured the correct amounts to make the cookies before mixing, kneading and cooking. We finally ate them and the general consensus was that they were delicious.
Today in 1 Blue, we have been looking at fairytales as a part of our Learning Means The World Theme. We read the story of Little Red Riding Hood and we decided to get our aprons ready in order to bake Grandma’s cookies like in the story. We had a go at weighing out the ingredients, mixing them together and then we cut out our own cookies. We can’t wait to taste them!
What a fabulous fortnight we have had we have worked so hard.
We have made rocky road, puppets and flip book animations. We have also been partitioning numbers in Maths and bringing characters to life in English and Drama
Have a look at a few of our photos from the last few weeks, see if you can spot the VIPs who dropped in for breakfast!
4 Red have been learning some new vocabulary this week in guided reading. They played a game of connect 4 to see who could collect the greatest number of words. A fantastic start to the year!
This week in 4 Red we have been learning about the ‘tempo’ of music and how that can effect how music makes you feel. We explored this by creating some artwork inspired by music with different tempos The children have also composed some of their own pieces of music in the major key of C.
