This afternoon P3/4W worked together to make these Roman Spiers! It was tricky but we used our growth mindsets and encouraged each other. We were pleased with the results. Our spiers will be on display at our Roman museum during our next sharing the learning event.
Today P3/4W and P4N hosted a Christmas fair for their friends and family. Over the last few weeks the children have been working for Buddy the Elf from the North Pole. He has been sending the children letters and task cards with different challenges to complete.
The children all had to apply for a different job involved in the running of the business and were put into teams. The created the name “Elves Forever” as their company name. The children made a variety of crafts which they sold to their parents today at the fair.
The finance managers had to work out how much to sell each item for to ensure a profit was made. The sales managers had to use their power of persuasion to encourage the customers to spend their money buying the crafts and playing the games the children had made. The marketing directors made posters and invitations to advertise the fair and the managing directors made sure everyone in the team was getting along nicely and working hard. The production managers had to make some extra things for the fair like reindeer dust and games.
Here are some comments from friends and family who attended our fair today:
“Smiles, team work and beautiful crafts for sale.”
“Lots of budding apprentices. Great to see!”
“5* Excellent Christmas Fair organised by the children and their teachers. Thank you for all your hard work.”
“I loved all the important jobs everyone had and the skills they developed in their roles.”
The pupils all feel really proud of their hard work and are now busy counting the money from today to work out how much profit they have made! Thanks to everyone who came and supported the children’s learning!
P3/4W has been learning how to add and subtract by playing a racing car game. We worked with a partner and took it in turns to write the sum into our book. Our partner checked if our answer was correct on a calculator. If the answer was right we got to move our car along the racing track.
Today P3/4W searched the environment for different types of angles. We used right angle testers to find right angles in the playground. Then we used sticks to make right angles, acute angles, obtuse angles and straight angles.
P3/4W have been using the new school Chromebooks to learn lots of new skills.
We can login to GLOW with our username and password. We play Nessy on the chromebooks to practice our spelling. We play a game called ‘Hit the Button’ to help us learn times tables. We downloaded an app called ‘Brain Pop’ to watch videos about our topic on electricity. We can send an email to our friends on Glow, read the emails and then reply.
Today at assembly P4s will be sharing our learning with the rest of the school and telling them all about how we are using the Chromebooks in our classroom.
P3/4W have been making electrical circuits. We had to complete different challenges and work together to try and make different circuits. We can light a bulb, make a fan spin and make a buzzer sound.
We wrote explanation texts to explain to others how a circuit works.
We can draw electrical symbols and draw a diagram of a circuit.
We watched videos to learn about how to stay safe with electricity and then made our own posters to teach others.
We also read books about electricity and answered comprehension questions to help us understand more about how electricity works.
Today Leigh from Funky Science taught P3/4W all about forces by creating rockets and launching them! We had so much fun! Thanks Leigh!
