Week 4

In reading this week, we have been reading the lyrics to the song 'A world of Colour'  about Frida Kahlo, and comparing the lyrics to the non fiction text that we read last week. We learnt the song and then performed in our own music video. I'm sure you won't be able to tell which one is from the official musical!

Week 3

The is week in Geography, we have been weather forecasters. We learned about the climate in tropical rainforests and presented facts about the weather patterns that we had researched. 

In PE, we have been learning different types of passes in Netball. We have learned the chest pass, the bounce pass and the shoulder pass. 

Week 2

This week we have started reading our new class book, The Explorer, by Katherine Rundell. What an exciting first chapter! We have done some drama work around the story and then worked together to story map the action of the dramatic beginning. We can't wait to read more!

In computing, we used Chrome Music Lab to create musical loops. We had a lot of fun and created some great tunes. Have a go on Chrome Music Lab at home here

Have a look at our compositions here

In art, we have continued looking at the works of Frida Kahlo and focused on her use of colour. We explored the colour wheel and identified complementary colours. We then mixed these to create shades of brown as we had seen in Frida's paintings

Week 1

What a fantastic start to the New Year! The children have been publishing their Diary Entries of The Matador. I'm sure you will be blown away by the quality of their writing!

This term in computing, we are looking at how to use digital media to create music. We started by evaluating different music genres and then discussing how music is used to produce drama and tell a story.
