On Monday, after our relaxing meditation, we set our minds to creating a communication device for an evil genius. We used our science skills to create an electrical circuit and our DT design skills to plan our masterpiece! Our intention was to communicate with our loyal minions using Morse code, which was used during World War I and II to communicate in secret.
As part of our ‘A World of Bright Ideas‘ theme, 6 Blue have recently been creating their own range of greetings cards. We looked into the meanings of the terms ‘copyright’ and ‘trademark’ before planning our designs. The children printed the cards using embossed polystyrene sheets, rollers and block printing ink to create some very professional-looking end products. Well done everyone – here is a sample of some of the cards!
As part of our ‘A World of Bright Ideas’ theme, Year 6 have been busy planning a recipe, pitching it to the class and eventually creating a healthy snack. 6 Blue made breakfast bars and 6 Red decided upon fruit kebabs. The end results were fantastic! Well done everyone!
Within our Learning Means the World theme, we were tasked with producing and performing an accompaniment to a piece of music. We all enjoyed playing the percussion instruments and performing to our class.
This week in our Learning Means the World theme, Inter-Nation Media Station, we found out more about the famous rap star, Top Dollar. We got into character, practising our coolest walk around the room before collecting the music award for Best New Song.
We took inspiration for our thank you speech from clips of Ed Sheeran, Emma Watson and Malala Yousafzai, before performing these speeches for our audience.
This week the children were introduced to the part – whole model in maths. We played around changing the numbers in the two parts and added them together to find the whole. We made number sentences to go with our models. We noticed that we can change the number sentence around when adding together.
We have read the story of The Gingerbread Man. The children have enjoyed retelling the story, using the play dough to make their own gingerbread men, counting buttons on different gingerbread men and lots more!
The children used jelly tots, chocolate drops and icing sugar to decorate their own gingerbread man biscuit.
We think they did a great job and hope they enjoy eating them as much as they enjoyed decorating them!
World mental health day, we decided to have a Yoga session for our mindfulness ❤️ we chose ‘ We’re Going On A Bear Hunt!’ ❤️❤️ We also talked about how it is so important to keep our minds healthy and happy as well as what we should do if we are worried or sad.
Today year 4 have been learning how to use apostrophes for contractions in English.
