We have been working on our Cauliflower Cards for Christmas. We were using the style of pointillism, were we have been using cotton buds and paint to create a Christmas design. We thought about different things that are related to the time of the year and created our own designs.  It’s 88 days till Christmas!

We will be working on the Mock Court project over the next few weeks. We have been put into teams and we will be given roles to play and complete tasks. We will ultimately end up in court against other teams/schools in the battle to win the court case.

Over the last few weeks, we have had a focus on creating original characters and detailed setting in our writing sessions. We have greatly improved on these skills as the weeks have gone on. Mrs Hunter is impressed with the quality of work that we have been producing.

We will continue to keep you updated with all of the work that is happening in class.

This week, we have been continuing to work on our original character and setting descriptions. We have been using our senses to enhance our descriptions. As our starter for our writing this week, we used a writing game called Kung Fu punctuation. We had to channel our inner ninja and follow the moves for each of the different forms of punctuation.

We have been finding out about SpaceX and Elon Musk. They have been working to change space travel. We watched some videos and then used the laptops to research the different rockets that they are sending into space. We used our skimming and scanning and note taking skills as being able to work in a group to gather our information.

This week, we have been continuing to work on the written method of our addition and subtraction questions. We are able to lay them out correctly in our jotters. We have been applying this knowledge to word problems and having to make decisions as to which operation is needed.

We have been researching constellations this week. We had to use a variety of websites, skim and scan for information, and transfer the information into our own words. We created posters with a drawing of the constellation and using the facts that we had found.

Finally this week, we worked on a team building task. We worked in pairs to create paper chains. We were given scissors, glue and one piece of A4 paper. We used a variety of strategies to create these and Noam and Demi were the eventual winners!
