Microscopy
We kicked off STEM Fortnight with a real treat. We had a great time learned all about microscopy . We got to use the digital microscopes and look at things close up. It was amazing to see how things looked when we looked at them closely. The science lab technicians in P7 came along to talk about it and show us how to use the digital microscopes.
Values Assembly
We performed our poem “ Ambition”at our Values Assembly today. We wrote the poem together at one of our writing lessons. Needless to say, we were amazing! 😁😁😁😁
Aliens
We created our aliens using play dough. We read “ Aliens In Underpants Save The World” for World Book Day. We had great fun discussing our work and put in a lot of detail.
Aliens In Underpants
For World Book Day, we read “Aliens In Underpants Save The World.”. It is a brilliant book. We designed our own pants; made play dough aliens and designed our aliens. We had a brilliant day!
Hour of Code
We were continuing to learn about directions in maths today and we used Hour of Code, which teaches us coding. We had to give BB-8 directions to pick up packages. We were very good at programming the blocks.
Composer
In music today, Mrs Fingland taught us about the composer John Williams. We listened to some of his “Harry Potter” music and some of his “Jaws”music. We learned that music helps tell a story and that it is the composer’s job to help add to the story with music. Music can help us feel excited in a film.
Making Beetles
We were making beetles with Mrs Hillan. We had to cut out the body parts. It was quite tricky, but we have been doing lots of practise with scissors this week. We then had to decorate the head, thorax and body. They looked beautiful in the end.
Codapillars
We were learning about directions today and used the Codapillars. We had to put the different parts on to tell the Codapillars which way to go. We tried to,program them to go from one child to another . It was great fun to do. We got better with practise. It gave us lots of discussion!
What shall we do today?
We have new activities this week that the children asked for last week. Our shop is very popular and we are selling lots of different things. They are all real. This is good for learning to use money and for rôle play. Everything we use is real. The hammer beads are good for making patterns. We are learning new words in our Jolly Phonics . The Kapla is always popular for building and being creative and building. We have also been reading this morning.
