Keeping Active

We have been making up our P.E time this week with a bit of Go Noodle in the Studio and the daily mile! We had to think of lots of different ways to move around the playground – skipping, hopscotch, jumping, even walking backwards.

Newsround

After watching Newsround on Thursday we had lots of questions about BREXIT. We discussed what Brexit is and what it would mean if it goes ahead. We are watching Newsround almost every day to keep up to date and find out a bit more…

Science

We were very lucky to have a visit from Arjun’s Mum who spoke to us all about the brain. She was very impressed at everything we could tell her about the body and said we were even better than some of her university students! Thank you for coming to see us!

Writing

We have been using our knowledge of jobs that were  in castles and we had to choose one to write a job description. We had to think about DUTIES, QUALITIES and SKILLS specific to the job. We had to apply our knowledge of castles to think about important aspects of each job.

Maths

We have been looking at information handling and on Monday we created our very own surveys. We could ask people in the class to answer our surveys and we collected our results using tally marks. We have also been analysing and using information in tables and bar graphs. Next week we will be creating our own graphs.

Topic – Castles

This week we have been learning about Robert the Bruce and why he is so important in Scottish history. We watched a video showing us the story of Bruce and the spider and why a little spider was so important.

Music

We have been continuing to learn about rhythm through using our bodies as instruments! We had to use body percussion instead of clapping which was very fun and we were very creative! We have been continuing to read rhythms, follow rhythms and play rhythms, We had a visitor join us for music this week and she was very impressed with how clever we were and how tricky the rhythms were that we were able to play!

Red Nose Day

To celebrate Red Nose Day we spent the afternoon taking part in Red Nose Day bingo, a fun wordsearch of Red Nose Day words and designing our very own red noses!  We enjoyed showing the class our red noses and ‘touch of red.’

Another busy week of learning 3D and I’ve been so impressed at how well we are doing, particularly in Music and Science. Have a lovely weekend and I’m looking forward to seeing what next week brings us 🙂
