Our new class novel is Scribbleboy by Philip Ridley. We have been enjoying it and finding out about the graffiti scribbles! We have written our own names in a graffiti style on a print out of a brick wall. We used a website to give us an idea that we then copied. We used oil pastels and blow pens to create the effect of spray paints.

This week in PE, we created and performed ‘penguin’ dances to music! We used characteristics of penguins and their bodies to create different moves. Today we have been creating symmetrical balances in pairs that we had to hold for 5 seconds. We used a mat and a bench. We then had to put 3 balances together in a sequence. We had to work on control and smooth movements in time with each other.

In Numeracy, some children were writing their own subtraction word problems. We have also been learning how to find the change when spending up to £1, £2, £5 and £10.

We started planning a poster about the RRS Discovery today. We are working in groups of three. We have been thinking about what skills we need to work in a group and how we can be successful in designing and making our poster.

In Literacy, we wrote a letter as Robert Scott to his wife and son. It was the last letter he would write before he died so we included his thought sand feelings and an inspirational message for them. We also had to include sentence starters and connectives.

In French, we learnt the names for places around the school. For example, our classroom is salle de classe and the playground is cour de recreation!
