PE

In PE we enjoyed learning more skills. Our favourite activities are javelin, rounders, long distance running, shot putt and hurdles. We enjoyed going outdoors and being more active. Together we all work harder to improve our fitness.

 

Jam making class

We picked 2000g grams of brambles from the forest to make jam. Then we took them back to the class to make jam. It took a while but Mr Fogg got it boiling and ready in time so we could take some home. Each of us went in groups and we weighed them to see how much we got. WE then added them all together to see what we had found. We calculated how many grams we had and this helped us to know how much sugar and pectin to put in. We finished up by writing the recipe on how to make jam.

 

Tree ID and bar graphs

For Outdoor Learning we went to the forest to identify different types of trees. We incorporated our maths work with OL by doing bar graphs of what we found. We counted all the trees and made a graph from natural materials of the types of trees we saw. We can now identify holly, birch, ash, hawthorn, horse chestnut, elder, oak, alder, yew, Scots pine and rowan.

 

Picasso Art

We enjoyed doing Picasso art, as it is different and interesting. It was difficult getting the shapes and the sizes right. We learned about the ‘blue’ period when he was depressed and the styles of single line and cubism. Picasso moved to Paris to pursue his dream of art. We used dice to select the different styles of facial features like those used by Picasso.
