In maths we did a house quiz with our house groups and if you get a high score you get a house token [all of us got one].

 

 

On Wednesday we did netball in P.E and a bit of basketball.

We also went to the woodland for free time and did a parabolic curve which is where you do a L and then numbers down it [1-10] and join them with straight lines and it makes a curve with straight lines.

 

 

 

 

 

 

we were doing experiments for our extreme earth topic

we were using unit cubes to create strong structures  on a target board,then we hit the bottom with a ruler and see if they fall.

we also used lego too make tall structures and put them on a wobble board too see if and where they fall.

there was a marshmallow and toothpick station and you build a structure and put them on two types off jelly and see wobble them and see if they fall apart.

On Thursday in drama we had to make a script for a selkie story which is basically where there are magic seals that can take off there skins and turn into a girl but one day a man stole a girls skin to make her love him and we added that the selkie finds the skin and confronts him.

 

w/c 12th September – Haniya and Isla G

Monday:

 

In maths we finished the TJ3A pages that we were working on on friday last week. We were doing pages 24-27 and if we finished and we hadn’t stopped then we did page 29 as a challenge, if we then completed that we did a sheet.  

 

In P.E the warmup people (Edward and Harris) chose the game which was duck hero meerkat. If you were selected by the tiggers you had to choose duck which you choose a partner ,hero was yourself and meerkat was everyone. Once you had chosen duck hero or meerkat then you would run to the other side, if you were tug then you became a tigger. 

 

After the warmup we split into 5 teams and each team had a rugby ball. What you would do is run to the other side of the MUGA in a straight line passing the ball between your group. If one person went in front of everyone in their team you would have to stop and they would have to run back. We were split into different teams and then started to do matches but not a proper one. To tackle the ball you would have to touch their shoulders with both your hands but you couldn’t tackle when they were standing still then you would get the ball. 

 

 

 

Tuesday: 

In the morning we did  literacy and we read a poem made by the poet laureate and it was called Floral Tribute and it was about Queen Elizabeth. And it was an acrostic poem about the word down the side was Elizabeth. 

 

In literacy we finished our class novel called Cloud Busting. Some of us got a bit emotional near the end, some of us were not expecting a sad ending. We then did a character study and a book review. Then in the afternoon we went out Cloud Busting ourselves and we took some photos of cool shaped clouds. There was a few donut shaped clouds too!

 

Then we did a class an electronic  kitbag, we only did the animals card and the feelings card, the other things included in a kitbag are calming oil and 2 puppets were a wolf  and a robin then we did a bounce back lesson about Louise Sauvage, an Australian athlete. We did our own cloudbusting outside too. 

Wednesday:

 

In the morning we had P.E in the gym hall. We did a warm up game of toilet tig, the game was chosen by the warm up people. Then we did a shooting drill for netball. We made a line in two groups. The first  person stood in the semi circle whilst the 2nd person had the netball. The person with the ball would pass it to the person in the circle then once they catch the ball they would throw it into the hoop, we repeated this until everyone had 2 turns.

In woodland we were measuring trees, we had some of the trees had numbers up to 6,  we had a sheet of paper which had the numbers on it there was 2 methods of measuring method 1 was you estimate how high the tree is and then you stick your head under your legs and see if you see the top of the tree if you don’t then you keep going forward in that same position and when you see the top you stand up and your partner uses a metre stick to measure your feet to the tree  method 2 is one person walks 30 steps from the tree and your partner walks 27 steps and the person who walk’s 27 steps goes one their stomach and your partner measures you from the tree.

We used oil pastels or paint to create artwork inspired by volcanoes.  We looked at real eruptions and artists’ work.

w/c 5th September – Charlotte and Cameron

On Monday we started with spelling. We had to finish off our corrections then do an active area task. We had to pick one task from each column, there were three columns. 

 

In P.E we played poison ball. There are 2 tiggers and they throw or roll the ball. If you threw it it had to be below the waist. When you got hit you had to go to the sides and get a ball because you became a tigger. We learnt how to pass in rugby. We played a game where you had to get a partner and you had to run and pass the ball at the same time.

In writing we had to write a nature poem. It could be about a season, field, flowers etc.

We got to write as much as we wanted.

 

In Maths, we worked with the other class on angles.  We split into groups, we took photos of things that looked like certain angles and added them to Google slides.  Then we played an angles game on the Chromebooks.  We wrote on the tables! there were angles made with tape and we used protractors.  There was a worksheet too.

On Tuesday we finished off our nature poems. Once we finished them we could put them on a leaf (out of paper). You needed to make one. You also had to write a stanza of your poem. Some people wrote their whole poem!

 

On Wednesday in P.E we were playing netball. For warm up we played Shark attack. You start with 2 tiggers and there are hoops for islands. You could only have 4 people to a hoop. If you got caught you became a tiger and it got more & more tiggers. When we started netball we had to learn all the key rules and how far you can go. In netball, it’s 7 to a team with a centre, wing attack, wing defence, goal scorer, goalkeeper, goal attack and  goal defence. We played against the same team twice. The second time we played them you could play a different position.  

In Extreme Earth, we learned about volcanoes and then wrote notes.  We made up questions and wrote them in fortune tellers.  We have been making them all week!

 

On Thursday we did Spanish and we revised our greetings. We learnt how to count to 20. We got to listen to a silly song which at points was really fast.

 

In music went back to the art/music room for the first time. We listed the definition of some musical words.

 

In drama we all got a number and when Mrs Hutchison called our number she would say a scenario and we had to do it. We got to do an extract from Peter Pan. The first scene we had peter meeting the kids and going to Neverland. The second one was peter pan fought hook and peter pushed him off the plank. Who was ate by a shark.
