The Tallest Class in Banton Primary
One on our podcast the class has just posted a new episode. The first this session.
The class worked really hard and independently on creating this.
From scripting when we hard a brilliant literacy session, class showed iron concentration, talking, listening and editing for flow. Working on expression and talking for an audience.
And recording.
to making musical ‘stings’ and editing the audio.
And finally Publishing.
The Children rose to the NLC Learning Hub Christmas Engineering Challenge.
We posted an in progress report Christmas Engineering Challenge Part 1 last week.
We lost some time on Friday as no children were in school due to snow.
This week we finished off and have started to make movies of our reindeer. All of the groups managed all of the chilli challenges! Watch the movies to see how. (A couple more currently in production)
The NLC Learning Hub has issued a Christmas Engineering Challenge:
The biggies started work this morning. We are making Reindeer from Cardboard and hope to include movement, electrics & coding. It might take a while…
Most of the groups got a lot of their model finished this morning. We used our teamwork, creativity & problem solving skills. On group got on to the moving part:
By lunchtime we had made a lot of progress:
More to do…
We have had a busy week in the Biggies. The school show practise is well underway and the class are making great progress with expression and clarity.
On Monday half the class went off to the local Football Festival, the remaining children worked on construction of a Christmas tree. We will be decorating it and using some more makedo screws for cardboard construction.
On Wednesday we had a visit from Ms Cooper to help us with scientific enquiry. The class learned about using variables in experiments and mixed some alkali with acid to produce foam.
We have been starting to work on a new podcast for BBPOD. Today the class worked on their scripts. The atmosphere in the class was great. Everyone was really engaged with working with their partners, writing, editing and trying out the word. I am really looking forward to listing to this one.
