French Cafe 🥐🥪🧃

We have been learning about French food and drinks through our French Cafe topic.
We loved writing in French on the desk as well as matching the correct picture to the word.
We hope we can use these words in the future to order in a French restaurant 🥐🥪🧃

 
   

Easter Eggs 🥚🐰

On our last day of term 2, we had an Easter egg competition – we designed characters and patterns and then went up on the grass to roll them. We loved creating unique designs and having fun with our friends.

Check out our AMAZING designs 🎨

Collage Birds 🦜

We used a range of materials to create a bird using different textures and techniques. We learned techniques like cross hatching, layering and fringing to recreate a bird’s feathers. We loved sharing our ideas and talking with our friends.

STEM – Bridges

We have been learning about different types of bridges.
We complete some research in groups and recorded our findings on a Jamboard on Google Classroom.

Then we used a variety of materials to create our own bridges across the ‘River Clyde’

Numeracy

We have been using number talks to share our learning and explain our strategies and solutions with others.

We have been exploring the language of maths to help us solve word problems.

We have been enjoying learning about co-ordinates. We played the game battleships to practice our skills in identifying and plotting    co-ordinates.

 

STEM – Castles 🏰

We applied our knowledge of attachment techniques to complete a number of challenges.
First we created ‘the tallest tower.’

Then we created a free standing castle wall.

Finally we created a complete castle focusing on including the features of a castle such as drawbridge, turret, battlement, portcullis and arrow loops.

 

Window Wanderland 🎅🏻🎄

We loved designing our winter windows. We worked with Miss Hamilton’s class to share the message ‘It’s the most wonderful time of the year.’ Then we chose four different Christmas symbols and designed the background using tissue paper.

Please come and see them afterschool one day.

STEM – Properties of materials and design skills🛠

We have been learning about the properties of different materials. We sorted the materials into categories and discussed their different purposes.  We are going to apply these into our Castle and Bridges STEM challenges.

We developed our measuring skills by using our rulers to measure multiple points to ensure we could draw a straight line. We learned about different attachment techniques such as tabs, slot, flange, l-brace and gusset.
