Summer 2
Today we made our smoothies which we had designed ourselves. We used the claw chopping technique which we have practised and then enjoyed tasting them! We evaluated them afterwards and discussed how we would improve them next time. Can you make one at home? What would you put in it?
Well done Anansi on a fantastic sports day! You were all great sports people and showed brilliant skills! What was your favourite activity?
Wow, Anansi were amazing on the school trip! They had “the best day ever” and showed brilliant team work and communication skills working together at Curious Kids Town. Which role play area did you enjoy the most and why? We were very excited on the coach too and enjoyed spotting places we know on route.
In DT this week we learned chopping skills and tasted different fruits in preparation for designing and making fruit smoothies. Can you remember how to hold the fruit? Which fruit did you like best and why?
We were lucky in Anansi class to have sports coach from Kings camps in front of our PE this afternoon. We played games and lots of fitness skills!
Wow what an exciting day! We had a visit from the travelling zoo and we loved learning about and meeting all of their animals. Which was your favourite? What did they feel like? Were you nervous about any and why?
In History Mrs Critten (who used to teach at Walkley Primary School) came in to talk about going to school in the 1960s. We heard about how different school was then and how some things are the same. The children sat beautifully and asked really insightful questions
We finished our art topic or murals making our own painting of the view from school. We considered background and foreground and mixed our own colours. We had an outdoor gallery to share our amazing work, which did you like and why?
We loaned some old toys from Weston Park Museum and had a chance to explore them.
We enjoyed our new maths topic this week. We are learning about turns and position. We had to turn either clockwise or anti-clockwise and decide if it was a quarter, half, 3 quarters or whole turn with a partner, well done!
In computing we used Scratch Jr to move a sprite around.
Welcome back Anansi class! We have loved hearing about your fun half terms! We are looking forward to speaking to all of your parents at parents evening this week. We have an exciting half term ahead. This week we are completing our art paintings of our local area and mixed our own shades of green to paint the background before we go on to add foreground details next.
