This week we have written a leaflet about the digestive system. We had to include and introduction and and ending. We also had to use openers, connectives and adjectives. We were learning more about adjectives this week. We also had to draw illustrations for each stage of the system. We are still working on editing our work and showing where we have used openers, connectives and adjectives.

In Numeracy, we have been practising the 3-step strategy for adding 2 2-digit numbers. Some answers were over 100. Some children were doing some word problems and trial and error challenges too.

In Art, we have started a self-portrait in the style of Julian Opie. We thought it was quite a ‘cartoony’ style of art. We traced a photo of ourselves and then used it as a print to get our face drawn on a piece of art paper. The eyes and nostrils are just black dots! Next week are going to paint them and outline them in black pen. The backgrounds will be nice a bright.

In Health and Wellbeing, we designed clubs that would encourage children to be active for 60 minutes. We made posters to advertise our clubs. We had to include all the details about it, including healthy snacks! We shared our posters with the class. We know how important physical exercise is to keep our heart and lungs fit and our muscles strong. We also thought about the ways in which our families and friends support our Wellbeing by thinking of examples of each of the wellbeing indicators – Active, Healthy, Achieving, Included, Respected, Responsible, Safe and Nurtured.

In PE, we played games of 5 a side football. We had to try to find space so our team mates could pass to us.

Today, we started our committees again and then we had the final rotation in outdoor learning. We have been learning about our skeletons, how to measure in metres and all about the artist Andy Goldsworthy.
