This week we have been looking at comics and reenacting them into freeze frames. This is quite tricky as we have to show what is happening in the scene as well as using body and facial language. Our ‘Cool in School’ knowledge has been helping us to express emotion in this task. In ‘Cool in School’ we are learning that we don’t always need to go straight to an adult but can try some strategies first. We did lots of role play in this. When we tried an ‘aggressive’ response we found this to be quite hard as we kept adding in please!! Mrs. Ghafoor said we were the nicest ‘bullies’ she had ever met!
In maths we’ve been learning our eight times table through different games.
Music with Mr. Gregory – our NYCOS Music instructor was cancelled this week but we did get a very special visit from Mathew Fitt. Mathew Fitt is a children’s author who writes books in Scots. He inspired us to make our own Scots Monster and taught us the names of different body parts – in Scots of course! Do you know what ‘wallies’and ‘knaps’ are?!
We also had a special treat from Miss Mowat’s class. They sang a song called ‘Leezie Lyndsay’and taught us the chorus. It was really fun!
Enjoy your weekend.
