Spring 1
Week 1
In History, we are learning about people who have positively changed the world. The children have really enjoyed this interactive history game by the BBC!
In English, we wrote and asked questions to the big, bad wolf from the Little Red story who argues that it was all a big misunderstanding and that he was just protecting Grandma from Little Red's awful toffees!
In PE, we are doing gymnastics this term.The children did a great job making various shapes and holding them for 10 seconds. Well done all!
In computing, we are starting to learn about how to store information and make branch data bases. Here are the children using the website J2data to make fun Yes/No branch data bases for topics such as beach objects and jungle animals.
In English today, we were practising using the suffix ing with verbs. We looked at the key rules such as dropping the "e" and adding a double consonant if the root word has a bouncy short vowel sound. Here are the gang filling in their grammar tables very well!
In maths we have been exploring the vertices and faces of 3D shapes and looking at 2D symmetry. Here are the children exploring these topics.
Week 2
In Design and Technology, we built prototype toy cars in groups. The children did a great job experimenting with different sized wheels and learnt from their mistakes when lining up the axels and the chassis which will hold them. We then tested and retested until our cars moved in a smooth straight line. Next week, the children will build their own cars following the designs they have drawn.
In PE, we continued our gymnastics topic by focusing on balance. Here are the class holding positions for 10 seconds, climbing apparatus, balancing on beams and jumping off horses.
In maths we have started a new topic: Money! The children did a fab job exploring the different combinations to make 10p, 20p and 50p using UK coins.
In computing this week we made more branch data bases. This time we collected and displayed more data by storing more objects and thus more branches!
