    AUTHORS LIVE

A famous author and illustrator told us some stories that they had written (Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam) and showed us how to illustrate. They didn’t come into class but we saw them in an internet broadcast.We used our listening skills to draw a picture of Slippery Sam.

CASTLE LIFE

This week we compared our lives to that of a medieval child. We learned that their lives were very different to ours. They didn’t have things like different foods or education – they didn’t enjoy all the rights that we do.

ART AND DESIGN

We decided to paint our own imaginary castles using shape, colour and line. The style was inspired by Paul Klee.

SCIENCE

We’ve been learning about magnetism. To show how magnets work (and to be creative) we made our own games. We are going to play our games with P1 and teach them a little bit about magnets.

TECHNOLOGIES

We built lots of different castles with cardboard and other materials. We included features of castles like towers, drawbridge and battlements. Miss Paterson thought we worked well in our teams.

LINE OF THE WEEK

We got the line of the week award so we got some extra playtime.

Hassan – I felt so happy to play on the monkey bars.

Stella – I was proud of myself.

Harris – I was so happy.

Salihah – I felt proud of the whole class.

Charlie – We’ve loved the first term.
