In today’s geography lesson we learnt what key features make the different types of places.
Coastal – it has a beach.
Rural – in the middle of nowhere.
Town/village – it has houses, shops and hotels.
City – it has a lot of buildings and they are tall like skyscrapers.
We loved learning all about St George and how he fought a dragon. This afternoon we enjoyed our St George’s quest and completed a range of activities.
Today in our experience lesson we followed the singing into the woods to find the tree which was singing. We found the leaves were swirling and dancing to a magical, luminous green, old tree. We thought it looked different to the city we had just travelled from. We made some beautiful artwork to showcase what we had seen.
In our PE lesson we have enjoyed creating our own dance thinking about toys in a toy box. We have got very good at counting in our heads to make sure we are all in time and doing it together.
We have finished our hook week creating a map of Carcroft using David Hockney artwork.
Crew Marsh laughed and bounced their way through the inflatable course and slide. We work so hard to ensure our HoWLs are of a high standard and look forward to celebrating our achievements in such a fun way! Crew doesn’t stop when we’re having fun, the children worked together as a team offering praise and encouragement to their peers who found it tricky! Especially Miss Holdsworth, she needed the crew to help her reach the top of the slide and everyone’s resilience paid off! It was such great fun!
Today we experienced the next part of our book and looked at what we saw out of our tower, we could see lots of leaves blowing from the park that is on the out skirts of the grey, dull city. We watched them blow passed us and created our own green leaf. We then made a pack lunch to take with us on our adventure to find where the leaves were coming from. We enjoyed our jam sandwich outside under the tree.
Today we invited in our grown ups to take part in an orienteering challenge around the school grounds. We used an aerial photograph and control points to solve the secret message. You were all awesome!!
We finished our unit on ‘Musical Conversations’ by creating whole class written notations to allow us to work in small groups using untuned percussion instruments to perfect a musical conversation. We worked really hard to ensure that everyone had a role, we even made amendments to the notations for those groups that had more/less children in them.
Today we started our new book in writing called “Our Tower”, the book started with a girl who was walking through a tall, grey and dingy city. She did not feel very happy and it was raining so she was soaked!
We experienced the miserable weather and built our own skyscrapers for our own city. We especially worked on our adjectives in todays lesson to help us to describe what we could see.
