Expressive Arts

On Monday we were refreshing our memories by singing the song we sang last week; plus we learned a new song called When the Saints Go Marching In. After that, we listened to music made Gustav Holst about the planets Venus and Mars then we discussed about the music. We had a chance to make our own Mars or Venus music using lots of different Percussion instruments!

IDL

On Wednesday we were making up our own Jeopardy type show inspired by the TV show, ‘Friends’. After that in our tables we were given a category about the Galapagos Islands main points;

• Animals
• Names
• Climate
• Geography
• Discoveries

We got 2 minutes to answer as many questions as you could from the other team’s questions. The winning team was Galapagos Guineas!

Cricket

In cricket this week we have been having a lot of fun! This week we were learning how to catch the ball plus fielding; we did a quick warm up fielding game to start off with. Next we were learning how to do dive catching, what we had to do was to dive onto the big crash mats and try catch the ball, a lot of us succeeded…

 

Science

In science we were learning more about chemical changes. We were learning about corrosion and how it works, we are going to do a fun experiment using a coin to see what happens to the coin (made out of copper) and to see what ingredients will make the coin corrode the best out of these ingredients`

ICT

In ICT we were learning how to code our own Google logo. The specific pupils who taught us this were Ben, Poppy F, Brodie, Aidan C and Robbie. They were explaining how the different blocks changes how the Google logo looked, plus how the different blocks would make the background as well as letters change into fun, fantasy and creative ways.

Photos will be uploaded next week hopefully.

This week we have had a wonderful week and this is what has been going on!!

 

Writing – in writing this week we did multiple things. There were four pictures on the board and we had to come up with what will happen next for example, there was a boy on a playground swing and he jumped off.

 

I.C.T- in I.C.T we were doing coding with the programme Moana.  All of the class were doing that but people who are in coding club were making a PowerPoint about coding and how to make the google logo, also changing the colour and costume and they are going to present it to the class next week.

 

Cricket- if you don’t already know we are doing cricket for the next six weeks it is really fun we played a proper game and the first team won
