Autumn 2
The Charlies have had a fantastic start into a new term! They have impressed all the adults with their fantastic gymnastics! Many great jumps, balances, rolls and shapes on display! Even some inverted movements such as the bridge!
Design and technology - we have been investigating pneumatic devices!! We then built a simple pneumatic system to push a ball or a glue stick and thought about how tubing and the size of a syringe affects the power of the device. Finally, we talked about how we might design a Grinch mask which can move using a pneumatic system.
Dance! We are dancing with Amy from Dazzle Dance!
History- Amazing posters explaining Pompeii! They worked in partners and produced high quality posters! Ask the children for some fun facts!
Science - exploring sound (pitch)
Literacy/ writing - The Charlies have been working hard at writing their biographies about Julius Caesar! Here is our published copies!
Hot news! Back by popular demand...Walkley's Got Talent!
Are you a dancer? A singer? Do you have skills? Can you make a rabbit disappear? Are your jokes epic? If the answer to any of these questions is "Yes!", then you're just the kind of person we will need on Friday 16th December 2022, when you will have the chance to show off your talents to the rest of Key Stage 2. You can be a solo act or a group. You can mix it up with friends from other classes. All you need to do to take part is to give your class teacher some vital information by Friday 9th December;
Your own name, and those of other people in your act (and which class they're in), your act's name, what you will be doing and how long you think your performance will last. If you need music, please give us accurate information about the artist and the song/tune. There will be mats on the floor, but if you need anything else (e.g. a table or a chair), please also tell your teacher. You can only take part in one act.
If your act impresses the panel of (not very) scary judges, you might even win a prize!
We're looking forward to seeing what you've got!
The Christmas story at St Bart's. These photos of the Charlies are on the Fantastic Foxes blog. Go check them out!
Calendars!! The Charlies did a fantastic job at making their calendars!
Design and technology (DT) - The Charlies class have been working in groups to make a puppet with a pneumatic device. The children made their own design, then a group design and created it! Look and see the creative process... The polished piece will be online soon!
