Great British Adventure

PE

This half term the Chameleons have been learning gymnastics. Each week we are learning a new skill and we are putting those skills together to create small routines.

We started by trying different ways to travel round the space; walking, jumping, sidestepping and making our own ideas. We then tried making different shapes before holding different balances.

Then the Chameleons practiced their jumping skills, they focused on landing on both feet trying not to wobble. After having a go jumping flat they tried jumping from something higher, they made sure that the landing area was clear before they jumped. At the end they created a routine using a shape, a jump and then a balance. 

Forest School

We enjoyed exploring Forest School for the first time, we climbed trees, found minibeasts and found our own learning. We made our own 'fire' and roasted 'marshmellows', going on a bird hunt, being as quite as possible to spot different birds as well as making our own hedgehogs using clay and sticks.

Computing

The Chameleons had a go at making programs using the Bee-Bots, working in pairs they gave the Bee-Bots instructions so that it could go on a journey across the map.

Class Wide Reward- Treasure Hunt

To celebrate getting 40 class wide reward points the Chameleons voted for for their reward and they chose a treasure hunt. We spotted a scroll in the classroom and when we unraveled it we worked out that it was a treasure map of our classroom. We followed each map and deciphered the clues before we were sent to the hall to look for the treasure chest. However it was still locked and the Chameleons had to use their subitising skills to find the code for the treasure.

Theatre Experience

To inspire us for our Nativity performance we were lucky enough to have a pantomine come in to perform Beauty and the Beast. We loved it so much that the Chameleons created their own panto in the classroom using props and toys, created tickets and then put on their show.
