Photography

Our first IDL block this term is focussing on photography. We have been working on our camera skills, looking at different angles and shots.

We took what we learned outdoors, and were very creative in our work. Look at some of the fantastic pictures we took on our iPads! I think we have some budding photographers in p6a!

Amazing astronauts

A challenging week of learning in the classroom. We have been learning the names and properties of 2d and 3d shapes and using them to build and make pattern pictures. We have explored shapes that we find around us in the classroom and environment.

We have been excited learning about space and travelling through the galaxy looking at the planets. Some of us have made junk model jet packs or outfits for astronauts or made the buttoned body for a robot.

In our writing, we have shared ideas about our rocket and where it could take us.

Keep looking at the sky and talk about what you can see during the day and at night.

 

P5a science centre trip

P5 had a great day at the science centre! We started off with a show in the planetarium which was brilliant, then spent our time exploring all the exciting things in the science mall,  ending with taking a short walk along the river to see the old boats before heading back to school. What great day out!
