Overview
This week we have been busy learning all about game design and jobs you can do to be involved in creating games. We had our trip to Pizza Express where we learned about how to make a pizza and secret ingredients that make it delicious.
In maths we have continued to learn about money and were trying to work out how to buy more than 2 items at a shop with only a certain amount of money to spend.
In Spanish we are learning about colours and made little Spanish colour flowers for our literacy working wall.
Parental Involvement
We have been using Voki to create characters. Have a go at home: https://www.voki.com/site/create
At the shop try to encourage your child to help pay with small coins or read totals on shelves.
Our Word Boost words are:
· Return
· A clump
· Remove
· Wonderful
· Suggest
Discuss the meaning of each of these with your child.
Pupil voice
Anna – We made characters on netbooks. My character was a fairy.
Emilie –We learned about jobs to make games. You can be a sound artist, a writer and loads more.
Shea – We did recycling too.
Roma – We went to Pizza Express. We made our very own pizzas.
Mara – We wrote about friends. It was an exposition.
Amelia – We learned about technology. We learned about coding too and had to code each-other.
Lucy – We used Voki on the computers. That’s what we used to design a game character.
Liam – We did loads of work on gymnastics in PE.
I enjoyed visiting your classroom during your games design lesson this week, the human coding game was great fun!
Thanks for the update. Sounds like a great, and varied, week. Liam thoroughly enjoyed coding and the trip to Pizza Express.
