This week in P3/4

This week in our topic we investigated the people who live in the jungle and how we would survive in a jungle. We dramatized being dropped into a jungle by Bear Grylls and told to ‘survive’! We watched a clip of Bear in the Jungle and found out what he takes and how he copes in these types of situations. We wrote about finding a new plant in the jungle, whilst we were ‘surviving’ and we watched The Jungle Book DVD. We presented and shared our homework projects and enjoyed listening and looking at what others had made.

This week the children reflected on their learned and said:

Chloe – I learned about what we needed to take to the jungle to survive.

Faith – We recalled what we knew about time (half past, quarter to and quarter past).

Zoe – I enjoyed the project.

Evan – We watched Bear Grylls to find out about surviving in a jungle.

Lauchlin – I enjoyed when we shared our projects and celebrated them.

Zak – We learned to make poisonous darts!

Aiste – We learned how to survive in a jungle.

Ruby – We learned that some people in the jungle build their homes up trees and others build huts nearer the ground.

Well done P3/4!

This week in P3/4

This week in our topic we used art materials to create a jungle collage; we used lots of different materials to create texture and interest. Using ‘The Jungle Book’ and ‘Tarzan’ stories for inspiration we wrote imaginative stories about being brought up in a jungle, using describing words to make our stories interesting and exciting. In music the children are continuing to learn some of the music from the Jungle Book, including ‘I want to be like you’.

This is what the children said about their week …

Ellie “I enjoyed making the collage in our art lesson.”

Zoe “I liked learning the monkey music.”

Chloe “I like the jungle collage.”

Evan “I learned about collage.”

Lauchlin “I learned that there is more than just half past, quarter past and quarter to.”

Ruby “I learned about half past, quarter past and quarter to.”

Alix “I learned about time.”

P 2/3 with their finished Mother day cards.

We folded a piece of card. We chose the colour of tissue paper we wanted to use. Then we cut the tissue paper into circles.

Using glues sticks we glued the circles onto the card, starting with the biggest circle and finishing with the smallest.

Next we scrunched up yellow crepe paper for the middle. Then we finished the flower by drawing the stem and scrunching the tissue paper to make it look like a real flower.

Lastly we wrote ‘MUM’ at the bottom and wrote a message inside the card.

We hope our mums liked their card!
