Congratulations to one of our classmates who did very well in her recent dancing exam. Here, she is wearing the medal and holding the certificate that she received. Well done!👍🏻

This afternoon we were using different games to help us recall stations of our times tables more speedily. These games can be accessed at home through Top Marks in your search Engine, then look for the times tables section.

We enjoyed a great afternoon watching the varied skills of the children participating in “Woodlands Got Talent”. Congratulations to everyone who took part : contestants, judges, hosts and audience- it was a great event and here are some photos.

Today we were practising our French weather phrases, then we selected the correct weather phrase to add to different places in France.

One of our pupils was in “the hot seat”,  sharing her understanding of different punctuation marks.

In HWB the second group experience eating a delicious bowl of fruit salad. The groups swapped so that the first group identified which were fruit and which were vegetables from a selection- the tomato 🍅 is the tricky one!

Using Maths Frame to practise our understanding and recall of times tables. Using any online games to improve recall of times tables would be useful.

We were identifying different punctuation marks and discussing how they are used both in reading and writing.

Here is a beautiful symmetrical picture made on the peg board.

We had a great surprise this afternoon when we found out that we had won the Cool Class Cup!! Well done, everyone!

This morning we had a presentation from British Transport Police advising us how to stay safe near the railways. We were told some really interesting and useful facts.

We worked in groups to compare Viking longhouses with our own homes.

This afternoon in dance/drama, we recorded our moves to show our interpretation of The Ride of the Valkyries.

Now that Activelearn has been updated, remember that the codes are all in lower case and are : the first 4 letters from your first and last names, woodlands and 6kwa.

In our French lesson we were practising some phrases to describe the weather. Today il pleut et il y a du vent!

We all had a great time today at Snowball Madness- it certainly helps your throwing skills!

Then some delicious cookies and hot chocolate for a well earned treat.

You could hear a pin drop! Everyone was so engrossed in their weaving activity. We learnt that the Vikings wove cloth on their large looms, so we tried using small weaving cards and wool. It can be a bit fiddly, but we have made a good start and already the pieces of woven cloth are taking shape.

We were comparing our reading sequences with our language peer partners.

In HWB we were learning how to make a healthy fruit salad and then some of us got so sample the lovely fruit. Next week the rest of the class will have their turn.

In ICT we were researching what life was like as a Viking, ready for our taught writing this week.
