We have been Emotional Detectives today with our handy magnifying glasses! We were identifying the emotions of the characters in our books but looking at facial expressions and body language.

Today we challenged ourselves to draw the Eiffel Tower as part of our creativity project. We were practicing using line as outline, drawing shapes and bold lines using our rulers. At the end we used Eiffel Tower grey to colour our drawings in and we added in a few clouds to the sky. The end results are fantastic and we are all very proud of our finished art pieces.
We have been discussing how we are all different and unique as part of our school assemblies and school Charter. We are drawing self portraits to express our own appearance and personality traits and they are looking fantastic!
Today we started our writing lesson having a blether about a few unique characters! We were practising using adjectives, similes, metaphors and alliteration to describe appearance and personality traits.
1~2 Nim
Today we played 1-2 nim which is fun, challenging and rewarding. We were practising basic counting and arithmetic. We started with a pile of counters and on our turn, we removed one or two counters from the pile. You must take at least one token on your turn, but you may not take more than two. Whoever takes the last token is the winner. Lots of collaboration and communication taking place here.
