Hello! It’s been lovely to see everyone back at school today and hear about all the different adventures that the children have had over the holidays. Mrs Stephenson also showed us some of her wedding pictures. (She was a beautiful bride! ). We have had a quiet day as everyone is still in shock at getting up early and are tired. We are happy to play with our friends again and learn with Mrs Stephenson and Mrs Arbuckle.
We were making our Papier mache Space helmets to wear in the Space Station. Mrs Arbuckle blew up balloons and we pasted on the paper. We will paint them after they dry.
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.
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!
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.
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.
We made beautiful mosques with Mrs Hillan in Art. We had to cut the dome shapes on the fold of the paper. We then had to dray and cut out a house shape with a door in it. It took a lot of concentration.
With Mrs Fingland today, we listened to how different instruments add to stories. The xylophone was good for pretending to go up and down stairs. The wood block was good for “tapping on the window”. We had a lot of fun.
Happy New Year to our Chinese friends! We heard the story about all the animals in the Chinese Zodiac story. We are mostly Snakes! We made dragon masks and we got to bang the gong. Some people got a turn at being in the dragon for the dance! We are looking forward to P1.4’s Assembly on Chinese New Year tomorrow.
We had a brilliant Burns House Challenge . Lots of boys and girls performed from the different Houses. Carrie and Charleen represented their Houses and were so good. We were very proud of them.
