We have been learning to use linked script to improve our handwriting skills. We have been learning how to join letters together without taking our pencil off of the page. Many of us enjoy handwriting and are beginning to use these lovely joins in our day to day class work.
We have been learning to create an ancient map showing the location of Scotland and Egypt. We made our map look ancient by crunching it up, tearing the edges and staining it with teabags. We needed to watch and listen carefully while our teacher demonstrated this technique. We could use this technique in the future to make other documents look ancient.
We worked together to create a giant image of King Tut. We made the outline by tracing around a picture on the interactive white board. We then worked in groups to paint the image using gold and blue paint. We all loved taking part in this activity because it was fun. We would like to use this approach for different art projects in the future.
We have been learning about ‘Life on the Ocean Wave’. In science we have been learning about some of the creatures who live under the sea and in Social Studies we have been learning to compare some aspects of our lives today with the lives of pirates who lived in the past. Here are some photographs of our classroom displays.
