What a busy week it has been, with lots of excitement for Halloween.
Our literacy has had a focus on Halloween as we read some stories about The Clever Cat and The Bubbling Cauldron and wrote our own fictional stories by rolling a dice to choose the setting, character and prop. The children wrote fantastic stories using very creative ideas.
Darcy enjoyed our art activity this week where we were tearing pieces of paper and sticking them onto a Halloween themed shape.
Kayden reminded us about M. C. Escher who we learned about in Maths when we were thinking about tiling patterns. We created our own tessellations using Tessellation Creator on Topmarks website, perhaps you can have your own go?
This week we started our new class topic, Inventors. We learned about the Wright Brothers, Ruth Handler, Alexander Graham Bell, Steve Jobs and Mary Anderson. Do you know what these people invented? Jarrad particularly enjoyed watching the film about Alexander Graham Bell ‘accidentally’ inventing the telephone. Over the coming weeks we will be working together in groups to research some other inventors who have been influential in Scottish history.
Kaitlyn said she enjoyed singing and dancing to The Skeleton Dance in music. We had to listen to the lyrics and fill in the missing words on our activity sheet. It was a very catchy song. Rohan preferred listening to The Monster Mash. Lakshya also enjoyed The Monster Mash and liked listening to spot the rhyming words.
Joe said he enjoyed having fun with his friends at the disco.
Wishing you all a relaxing weekend!
