Diggidabble – Digital Week
This week we have been confident individuals exploring technology. We have carried on working our Australian theme… and enjoyed the lovely sunshine.
* SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS *
The Moonbeams class had some Italian themed computer challenges today. They had to use Google to find photographs of Roman gladiators, Venetian gondolas, Pinocchio, the leaning tower of Pisa, Italian foods and the Italian flag.
They had to choose their favourite photograph from Google images, copy and paste it into a Word document and type a short sentence about it.
We all managed to complete these challenges!

Australian Didgeridoo – IDL
This week for our Australian topic work we explored didgeridoo sounds. We made our own didgeridoo and enjoyed making a lot of noise. We were confident individuals in deciding our creative colourful design for our didgeridoo.
During Music we used sticks to work on our timing and rhythm to some Australian sounds, Kenny the Kangaroo and Kookaburra songs. They both had different speeds and the boys explored and demonstrated this well.

National Digital Technology Week
National Digital Technology Week, we have been enjoying taking part in the literacy and numeracy tasks this week on the iPad.
We were successful learners when we were taking part in a group challenge during our time work. We were experiencing how long one minute felt and who could pop the most balloons in a minute. Nathan was the champion! There was a lot of concentration from all the boys during this challenge.
We had a fun party for one of our class friends to wish him good luck!
We all enjoy coming together and having a laugh.

National Numeracy Day
Today is National Numeracy Day so instead of doing literacy steaming this afternoon we did numeracy tasks with our groups. We were successful learners and effective contributors throughout the afternoon. We signed the numbers to ten. We all tried really hard despite the hand shapes being rather tricky. We then completed numeracy rotations we had to find numbers on the tuft tray and used a paintbrush to make them disappear. We had to count the number of flowers and then had to build a tower with the same number of blocks.

National Numeracy Day!
The pupils have been successful learners today as they participated in a variety of activities for number and shape. The enjoyed listening to songs on the smart board about number and shape and were able to identify the same shape from a choice. The pupils were confident individuals as they worked independently to count and sort cubes, find and identify numbers in sensory trays and match shapes. Well done. #National Numeracy Day

Active Number Songs
Our streaming groups all enjoyed fun, active numeracy work today. In the Snowdrops room, everyone made effective contributions to different number songs. We used Makaton signs and lots of actions to count up or down, with our frogs, ducks and monkeys. Great work everyone!
