This week in PE we continued to develop our Bench Ball skills. After warming up with different passing and ball catching activities we formed small teams. In our teams we played against one another and tried to score as many points as we could. We are getting much better at moving around the court and passing the ball to each other.
In writing we wrote stories based on our class novels about Percy the Park Keeper. We used the story about the animal’s tree being damaged in the big storm as a base to discuss how a story is written. We learned that it has to have a beginning, middle and end together with a setting and characters. Some of us took up the challenge set the Badger to introduce some new characters and also come up with a new adventure involving Percy and his animal friends.
In Maths we all received our new square papered jotters and learned how to write and lay out or work in them. The jotters are very different to the workbooks we have been used to so we have been taking extra care to keep our sums neat and tidy. We have started looking at addition and have started to write out our sums using the textbooks. It is quite tricky but we are getting there!
In art this week we have been looking at some of the different wildlife found in Hawaii. We looked closely at the Green turtles found in the water around the islands. We looked at the different patterns on the shells and then used oil pastels to create our own turtle designs. When we finished drawing them we then painted round them with a blue paint wash to make them look as if they are swimming in the sea. They look amazing so we are all looking forward to start making our Hawaiian Island display.
On Friday to celebrate Modern Languages Day the assembly was conducted by the Language Ambassadors. They taught us how to sing in French, German and Spanish!
