The Comets have been completing interdisciplinary learning this term through our Jungle Book theme. We all really enjoyed completing lots of different activities. Here are just a few of the things we got up to!
Literacy- We experienced the Jungle Book story by reading, listening, watching and acting it out. After we knew the story everyone was a successful learner by being able to recognise and match each character to the correct image.
Art- Making our Jungle Book wall display was the favourite activity for lots of pupils and everyone was an effective contributor We made trees from tissue paper, cut out leaves from card, used feathers to make bids and paper plates to make elephants. The final display was amazing!
Science-We learnt all about the different types of plants you could find in different jungle and even tried to make our own from play-doh. Afterwards we compared these plants to ones we might find in Scotland. We learnt that they are very different and everyone was a responsible citizen by helping to look after the plants in the garden.
Health and Wellbeing- ‘The Bare Necessities’ was our favourite song from the Jungle Book and everyone enjoyed dancing to it! We then looked at what the bare necessities meant by learning all about needs an wants. Everyone was great and separating their needs and wants- despite some arguing that sweets and computer games are definitely a need!
Science- Making Jungle slim was lots of fun but very messy. Everyone was able to a confident individual by helping measure out the correct amount of cornflour and water needed, then mix it all together. Pupils got to choose what colour they wished to make their slime.
