   Wednesday

This morning we did maths. After break we did hockey in  PE and we learnt lots of different skills.  We will use these in games on the MUGA on Thursday.  After lunch we did literacy. 

 

Thursday 

We spent the first part of the day creating bird feeders as part of our John Muir award.  They will help biodiversity in our playground.  In the afternoon, we used our hockey skills in game on the MUGA.

 

Mrs Allan – we worked with P7b to create the bird feeders, using vegetarian lard, a variety of seeds and cereals.  Mrs Norman and I were impressed with the children’s teamwork, creativity and problem solving skills – we’ll keep an eye on what wildlife we can attract. 

 

On Tuesday we painted our modroc ice cream cones. We were mixing colours to make an ice-cream colour.  We used blue, red, white, yellow and mint. We could add sprinkles with raffia too.  It was challenging to mix the perfect colour.

 

This is a red head worm.

We were making another worm survey at the bottom of the hill (not the top),  We found less worms than the top. We made graphs on Friday  using Google sheets to record and interpret our findings.

Did you know that Green worms are the most common in the UK?

 

We were using metre sticks inside and outside our classroom this week to calculate and estimate area and perimeter.

We were doing a standing jump and making a mark on the wall and then measuring how high the jump was.

We also did some long jumps and measured the distance. the class opinion was split on whether one or two footed jumps were more effective.

        Tuesday- 

 

We did Maths, Science and watched a short movie and discussed it. In literacy we were doing inference and were discussing the short film, The short was called Geri’s Game. We ended the day with maths. We created curved pictures using straight lines.  they were called parabolic curves and the curves of pursuit. 

Wednesday-

 

Today we did Maths, PE and our topic, Titanic. For math’s we (Mathletes) started doing division. For PE we practiced throwing sports such as javelin and shot putt. For Titanic we heard some survivor stories and talked about them. 

 

Thursday-

 

Today we had PE, writing, Woodland and maths. In PE we did more throwing sports and played octopus. For woodland and maths we were finding right, acute, obtuse, straight and reflex angles outside as part of Maths week and the focus on the world around us. For writing we wrote about a titanic setting and chose what part of the titanic to write about. We also chose our success criteria.

Thursday

 

Writing: Today in rewriting our nature poem or our emotion poem on the chromebook or on a plane piece of paper. We had to make them more interesting using different fonts and colors to reflect the meaning of our work.  For example, we could choose colours that reflected the mood of our poem, or write using different sizes and shapes.  

Woodland: In woodland we looked for earthworms and we sorted them into the ones with saddles and ones without a saddle, then we counted up all the worms we found. The number of worms and their maturity (if they have a saddle) shows the soil quality in our school. 

 

 

 

in our time at the Woodland, we practised stick whittling and used team work and gross motor skills to build dens. We used the sticks to mark out sections and measured the area of them.

 

Some of us made human scales using the resources at the woodland too.

 

 

In Spanish, we focussed on learning new vocabulary about colours.  We played games, painted and mixed colours and used talking and listening skills when looking at flags.

In the morning we did writing. We wrote poems and they were about nature. After break we finished writing then we went down to our garden and we did some stick whittling. We used some potato peelers to carve the sticks. After lunch we did PE. We played a game where one team had to throw the ball around the circle and the other team had to run round the muga. Once the whole team has run around the muga we would see how many throws the other team has done. Then we would switch rounds and do the same. It showed our fitness and throwing and catching skills.
