We presented our ‘Book in a Box’ for our solo talks. The focus of the talk was fluent speaking, appropriate pace, projecting our voice and body language.

What a fantastic effort from P3a, we loved seeing everyone creations and hearing about your favourite books!

Stem-a-story!

We focused on the book ‘There’s no dragon in this story!’. We used BeeBots to travel to different characters in the book.  The task included using directional language and programming the BeeBots.

We were super lucky to have P6 Reading Buddies to introduce our books from the Read Write and Count books.

We used estimation skills to map out the neck, eyes, mouth and face shape in the style of Modigliani

We made outdoor pictures in the style of Modigliani. The neck had to be 30 cm long, we used a ruler to measure and check.

Our new class topic is chocolate. We began by writing ‘I wonder’ questions of things we want to investigate about chocolate

We have been looking at food chains with the cocoa bean as the producer

And writing about Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Room

We have been using ‘drum sticks’ to find the rhythm.

We have been practising writing vertical calculations.

We were describing Shreks Swamp this week. We made pictures using paint, sponges, coloured pencils and tissue paper.

We have been working on drawing a map of our writing using symbols and pictures before writing. We orally told a partner our description of the setting before writing it.

We have been comparing fashion in Ancient Egypt to present day.

We were given pictures to discuss in groups. We made notes on things we noticed about Ancient Egyptian fashion.

Then we made pictures of ourselves in present day clothing and Ancient Egyptian clothing. We had to select the correct fabric, trace around the stencil, cut and stick.

We are continuing with vertical calculation, some of us have been pictorially writing calculations with tally marks.
