Spring 2

Week 1

The Day the Crayons Quit - Animated Read Aloud

Our first piece of writing for this term will be a persuasive letter inspired by the crayons' grumpy letters in the magnificent "The Day the Crayons Quit" book.

Here are the class writing down what they think each crayon colour is feeling and what they are cross about!

In RE we are looking at why Easter is so important to Christians. Here are the class acting out Holy Week, with people waving their palm leaves to Jesus, Jesus being arrested, Jesus being cruelly offered vinegar when he was thirsty while carrying the cross and finally Jesus rising again from his tomb.

In art, the children did a super job sketching close up images of plants. This composition was inspired by Georgia O'Keefe's work and the children worked well using the different pencils like HB, 2B and 6B.

In English we continued to study the wonderful book, "The Day the Croyons Quit". This time we looked at different emotions such as anxious, exhausted and feeling unappreciated. The children then matched feeling cards to the correct crayon from the story. We also talked to each other about the different crayon's personlities and some of us acted out cratons from the story and the rest had to guess which colour they were!

Week 2

The Hodgehegs did a great job playing B and A notes. Well done for listening so well to our Music Hub teacher.

Here are the class playing "Busy Beez"

In PE we are learning about "Invasion Games". We talked about how invasion games have attackers and defenders and that you need to score goals in the other team's half. Examples of invasion games are basketball, football, rugby and hockey. Examples of sports that are not invasion games are tennis, bowling, cricket and volleyball where you always stay in your area and never the oppositions. Here are the class learning to score goals with a hockey stick.
