This week our classroom has received a make over! Our colour scheme is purple and grey and it has created a lovely learning environment for us.
As part of our ongoing topic of WW2 we have been looking at propaganda posters and the slogans that were used. We discussed how these posters were designed to be persuasive and to project certain images to the reader. We then focused on four of the most iconic slogans and created our own posters by either being inspired by posters from the time or by creating our own. Here are a few examples,
In our Numeracy learning this week we have focused on transferring and manipulating our knowledge of numbers and the number processes to tackle a mixture of mental maths questions, word problems and problem solving tasks. Here is an example of a problem solving question, if you can work out the solution draw it out and take a photograph of it and Dojo it (extra dojo points available!).
For our Health and Wellbeing learning this week PC Cochran visited our classroom and gave us a talk on “Choices”. We were able to listen to and participate in discussions about making good choices and consequences for those who do not make good choices. He also shared with us an insight into life as a Police Officer and showed us his protective clothing and equipment. What a great experience it was for all.
In PE we have been learning new games and team games and developing our ability to follow rules and create/adapt rules to suit our own needs. Below is a clip of the rules for Mushroom Ball which is proving to be a popular warm-up game.
Next week we will begin to deliver our class topics about WWII. It will be really interesting to see the different aspects of the war which people have chosen to research. A reminder about some of the Green For Growth comments that were given after last terms talks, these will help you focus on ensuring that you deliver and present your information well,
- Make eye contact with the audience (looking round from the screen or looking up from your notes)
- Using your own words and not just reading a script or directly from power point slides
- Asking higher order questions about the presentations that you listen to.
Enjoy your weekend.
I’m delighted that you like your classroom make over! Part 1 complete. Part 2 on its way …
PC Cocharne’s visit was important; we ALL have a part to play in keeping our school safe and happy. I hope that you use his visit as reminder of your responsibilities and the importance of making good choices at school, at home and in your communities.
I would love to pop up for some of your WWII talks. Would that be ok?
