Music

We have started our Rhythms topic in music. We will be working on various rhythms with an aim that we can identify them on written music notation, tapping the rhythms and singing them.

World Book day

On Thursday we celebrated World Book Day with lots of different activities, we completed a  scavenger hunt which tested our character knowledge, a Kahoot! Quiz, we had to design a cover for a mystery book – we had to listen to the story first and we had a visit from Mary Dickie at the Foundry who encouraged us all to join the library and get free access to thousands of books.

On Friday we discussed why we don’t wear costumes even though other schools do. Following the discussion most pupils felt that wearing the costumes was an unnecessary cost to parents.

 

Storytelling

Over the next few weeks we are working on our story telling skills through literacy and drama. I will be encouraging everyone to take turns to tell stories, improvised and planned. Everyone will also be involved in telling the story as an actor, following the story.

Everyone loved the first week of storytelling.
