World War 2 Presentations

This month we have been focusing on World War 2 presentations. We have been creating presentations on a specific leader. There are five leaders we have been focusing on: De Gaulle, Mussolini, Roosevelt, Hirohito and Churchill. All of the classmates are presenting and have been asked to provide feedback to their friends on aspects they could work or improve upon.

Outdoor Learning Adventures

Recently in outdoor learning we have doing activities to make us more adventurous and to improve our team working skills. We have learned to climb in trees, walk on a tightrope, play in a hammock, den building and learn how to make knots. Our favourite was the hammock.

Drama

This month we have been working on our drama skills. Every Friday afternoon we have been playing drama games and exploring improv. We have been playing ‘Park Bench’ – which is a game where we use improv to get your partner off the bench! You are not allowed to touch them or use props. We hope in the coming weeks we can all turn into Oscar worthy actors and actresses.

The Falconer’s knot

During this month we have learning to do the falconer’s knot so that we can learn how to train birds of prey that Mr Fogg is bringing in. We tie it so that we can stay safe and the bird can too, without the bird getting hurt. We have learning by watching videos and trying it ourselves with a piece of rope.
