Last week in P7J we had lots of different learning experiences.<\/p>\n

We completed our work on Vivaldi’s ‘Winter’ music by composing some tunes of our own.\u00a0 Each group had a selection of instruments and were tasked with creating an 8 beat tune, inspired by winter.\u00a0 This was good fun and everyone worked well as part of a team to count beats and come in at the correct time.<\/p>\n

Our numeracy focus was on adding and subtracting fractions.\u00a0 We had to use our prior learning, from last week, about mixed and improper fractions to help with these calculations.<\/p>\n

Continuing with our study of poetry, we looked at limericks.\u00a0 These are funny, five line poems which rhyme. Here is Codey’s for you to enjoy!<\/p>\n

There once was an unusual parrot,<\/p>\n

Who for some reason loved to eat carrots,<\/p>\n

The bigger the better,<\/p>\n

He said in his letter,<\/p>\n

Oh, what an unusual parrot!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As part of our topic on China, Miss Little set the challenge of researching the giant panda.\u00a0 Notes were collected and then used to write non-chronological reports.<\/p>\n

John Muir Award and Outdoor Learning<\/strong><\/p>\n

We started a four week rotation for outdoor learning on Thursday.\u00a0 We were so glad it wasn’t raining!<\/p>\n

Group one was helping P3\/2 pupils to make bird feeders out of plastic milk cartons. Group 2 was weeding the raised bed and sowing seeds: we planted lettuce, sweetcorn and courgette seeds this week.\u00a0 Group 3 was hunting for animal tracks hidden around the playground and trying to identify them.\u00a0 Group four was given a S.T.E.M challenge to build a bird’s nest; this was not as easy as everyone first thought! Lots of problem solving was going on, testing designs and improving them.\u00a0 \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

We’re looking forward to another interesting week this week.<\/p>\n
