We received a reply from Cadburys from our letter asking them to stop using palm oil! We are very proud of ourselves for making a change and we used the £2 voucher that they sent us to buy some palm oil free cookies! We enjoyed these in the forest during our class wide reward celebration.
Our class wide reward was a lovely celebration in the sunshine! We enjoyed what felt like the first day of spring and took our books up to read in the orchard. We also played some role play games in the forest and had lots of competing restaurant chains.
in art this week we have been learning more printing skills. We made block prints using different materials. We also did some leaf printing in forest school.
In guided reading we have been continuing to read the Greek myths. This week we looked at a graphic novel style of book. We summarised the 12 tasks of Heracles in our own comics.
In writing, we have been working on writing persuasive letters to the fly to try and convince her not to enter the Spider's parlour. We worked together to make sure that we were sharing ideas and keeping our sentences clear and accurate.

We have started printing skills this week for our artwork focussing on printmaker, Delita Martin. We started with monoprinting and linked this with our work on Greek Myths by using images of the ferocious Minotaur!
How to mono-print, No sound, visual only.
Updated video can be found here -https://youtu.be/k5lcn69M0V8 How to mono print! You will need- a plastic or glass tile, block printing ink, roller, paper and masking tape. Only use a dab of ink at first, you can always add more. Roll out ink. You want a nice even layer of ink.
In English, we used Thesauruses to help us learn synonyms to describe the devious Spider in our Poem, The Spider and the Fly. Can you think of a synonym for devious?
In history we learned about the Trojan war and acted out the main events. It was fun using our bodies to make the horse!
A funny sketch describing the story behind the ancient greek myth of the abduction of Helen by Paris of Troy and the way the greeks used a wooden horse to invade the city of Troy.

This week in maths we have been learning about perimeter. We measured the perimeter of some of our classroom equipment using centimetres and then we went outside to measure the perimeter of our playground using metres. We looked for efficient methods to help us calculate the perimeter of a rectangle or a square.
Perimeter Song
perimeter #math #song A fun song I wrote for my math students to introduce the concept of perimeter- the length around an object. Hope you enjoy! LYRICS: Perimeter, That's the sound, Perimeter, The length around! Perimeter, That's the sound, Perimeter, The length around!
In computing, we have started using Scratch to learn about coding. We learned how to import and new sprite, make our sprites move and change the background on our dashboard. Use the link to have a go at home!
We have started learning 'The Spider and the Fly' in English and worked in teams to perform the poem using expression and emphasis. We then bravely performed to the class!
