February’s Post

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory🍫

Our topic this term has been Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  We read about the five golden ticket winners and then created character wheels about them. We also acted like the winning and we got interviewed by the rest of the class. We create a new idea for a Wonka sweet and heard from Mr Willy Wonka himself encouraging us to make a unique invention. Once we came up with our idea we brought them to life through our writing creating the sweet itself and the invention room. Finally designed our door leading to our room. We also turned our classroom door into a Wonka bar! We finished our topic by watching a bit of the 1971 and 2005 movie, we reviewed the difference between the book and movies. ⭐️

We all have had so much fun during this topic❤️

Silhouettes🖥

In ICT we made our silhouettes on the computer.    It was hard but it was worth it in end because they look amazing! We had to  take a picture of each others side profiles, then we had to make sure we were stood in front of a white background. We uploaded the pictures from the iPads onto a compute and copied them onto a PowerPoint. After that we changed the format and removed background and then changed the brightness. We were then left with wonderful silhouettes. Can  you guess who is who❓


 

Mandarin 🇨🇳

In mandarin we have been learning numbers to 🔟 and we are all getting very good at them. We have been practising saying them out loud and we got a chance to write them✍️ . We have been learning about the spring festival and all the wonderful traditions that take place during this time. Finally we learnt how to say different colours. This is our last week of Mandarin but we will continue to practice what we know in class.

    

P.E🤸‍♀️

In PE we were doing gymnastics. We learned how to do different rolls, handstands and cart wheels. We made sure we were using the equipment safely. We also learned to play Jedi dodgeball.  We have to use tactics, strategies and lots of team work in this game, we are getting better at it. P.E has been so fun 🎾. I (Evie) have been in charge of taking photos during PE and I have captured some great ones, check them out!

Outdoor Learning🌲

We went outdoors and wrote a poem about all the things we saw, we had to use a number – verb -alliteration and noun format every line. We typed this up and saved it on our google classrooms. If you want I’m sure your child would be happy to show you what they came up with.💻 We also created our own maths games outside and had a chance to teach other groups what we came up with.

 

Class News 🧾

This month we have had lots of presentations and show and tells. We have loved learning more about our class mates and proud of the confidence they have shown. 😊
