Sahitya and Mekhi made a witch. We had to draw round the witch.

Olivia and Ailsa made a pumpkin.

We have been learning about Climate Zones in class, for example, Tropical, Arctic and temperate. We have looked at the different habitats and learned about their features and differences. We also found out which animals live in theses habitats. We used an atlas to learn about Continents and Oceans.

The children have been using their reading books to practise different reading skills. They have been learning how to answer comprehension questions in sentences and sequence events.

The Campus Cop Angela Mitchell came to visit our class.

Aritro said ‘She told us not to cross the roads when the cars come.’

Jaida said ‘You don’t talk to strangers unless you know who it is.’

Caleb said ‘She told us about Stranger Danger. You have to yell, run and tell.’

The children chose shapes and drew around them. They had to make a picture of a castle or a tower. They followed Paul Klee’s style which  uses mainly red, blue and yellow. They were allowed to mix colours. At the same time they listened to relaxing music while they painted.

Thomas ‘It was so much fun because i like painting’

Chloe- ‘It calms you down and it was very nice’

Holly- ‘I was concentrating but i felt relaxed.’

The class made paper aeroplanes. We took them outside and tested them. Peter’s plane went the furthest. It flew 10 metres!

Harris, Mekhi and Aritro designed a car park game. Each parking space has an amount on it. They roll the dice and land on a space then roll the dice again and land on another square.  Then they have to add or take away to find the total or the difference between the prices.

Sahitya and Jaida have designed a Snakes and Ladders game. They enjoyed working together. It was challenging because they had to include lots of information.

James, Caleb and Azaan made a game called Lava and Snakes. If you go in the lava you are dead. Also snakes can kill you. There is a King and a Queen of the land who live in a volcano. The snakes can throw bombs and there is an escape door.

Holly and Olivia designed a Halloween game called witches and brooms. If you land on a broom you go up the way and if you land on a witch you go down the way.

Emma and Soha have designed a Beat the Street game. 4 or 5 people can play it. You get a counter and roll the dice and where you land you write down how many points you have collected. The winner is the person with the most points.

Peter, Elise and Ailsa made a game called Animal Valley. You need to get to the finish. The squares have animals on them and if you land on them you need to act like the animal.

Chloe, Harry and Olivia designed a game called Underwater Snakes. It’s all about fish and snakes underwater. If you land on a fish nothing happens but if you land on a snake you go down. If you get to 73 you win.
