Last Week in Room 24

Last week was eventful! Here is what we did!:

Head Pupils

The new Head Pupils were announced! Enormous well done to Ollie, Briac, Kansas and Beatrice. We hope you benefit our school and help us move forward!

Art

In art, we were creating folding posters displaying the elements of art. They are: Line, Shape, Value, Form, Texture, Colour and Space. We all really enjoyed this task.

Math

During math, we have been learning different strategies to help us with all the types of questions. We were primarily focusing on word problems, but we also were learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and divison methods.

French

For French, we are booking a trip to France! (Not really). We are choosing a destination and planning a trip to said destination, including everything from plane tickets to hotel stays. We are noting everything down in our jotters and will present everything to the class when we’re finished. This has been a really fun task, and we can’t wait to do more things like this where we’ll book French cafes and learn some more French along the way!

Thank you for reading this, and stay tuned for the next one on Friday!

 Dribbling, passing, pivoting and shooting in basketball. We were practising these skills through  races. It was fun and everyone was happy. 

We were also cooking for our adults on Tuesday. The adults loved it and so did we! We even did a quiz, the high score was 10/10. 

Come back next week for more activities and learning!

Welcome to Room 11

Hello everyone!

It has been a very busy few weeks,and here is a sneak peak at what we have been up to…..

The class have been learning about place value and enjoyed creating their own place value robots.

Next week we are moving on to estimating and rounding.

We are also learning about time.  It would be great if we could practice telling the time at home, particularly quarter to and quarter past (P3) and reading clocks at 5 minute intervals (P4).

In writing we have been creating our own recipes for Marvellous Medicines and also learning about similes and metaphors.  We enjoyed making our bottles for our medicines and then making a warning poster to go alongside it, focusing on print and colour.

In PE we have been focusing on fitness and rugby skills.  We will continue to go outside most weeks even when it is drizzling so please send in waterproof jackets!

During Child Led Play we have been loving creating lots of interesting builds with lego and also learning how to log on to the chrome books.  The role play corner has also been very popular, in particular wearing the jewellery.  We are waiting confirmation of photo permission before we can include any pictures of the kids on the blog.
