P.E
Our week started with gymnastics. This week we continued exploring the sequence of movement using our bodies and working as part of a team. In their groups they were asked to compose a routine that would include skills such as; rolls, jumps and balances while travelling around their area. They were all fantastic!
Literacy
P3/4 started creating a plan this week to help them with their creative writing. First the children focused on their main character (Vikings), there were some great imaginative ideas here. We also used our laptops to research clothing, weapons and hair styles. The children had to first draw the character after this they then began to describe the character in more detail.
Next we explored the type of setting the characters were going to be going ‘a viking’. We looked at images of some Viking villages, stormy seas and longboats to help us to develop some great adjectives for our story when we come to write it.
Health and Wellbeing
This week the children were learning about family conflict as part of our celebrating difference focus in Deans at the moment. The children discussed issues that may cause conflict, and were suggesting ways in which this could be resolved. We referred to the ‘solve it together’ technique. We also made the word family with our bodies, each small group were given a letter to shape and form this. Some great examples of our collaborative learning below.
