Over the past few weeks in music, we have been learning the song, ‘I’ve been to Harlem”, thinking about the shape of the tune and using our voices to show this. We’ve spent time learning the lyrics and the tune, and today, we have moved on to creating an accompaniment using the pentatonic scale on the glockenspiel. We used the 5 notes – F, G, A, D and C – to create note clusters and we began practising playing along to the song.
we are working really hard on our writing
Today in p.e the children completed an assault course using scooters.
Well done to Kai, Molly, Lily-Rose and Archie on their latest reading awards!
In today’s handwriting lesson we looked at ‘the misfits’. I was blown away with how the children showed great listening skills during the input and then showcased their beautiful work by producing this handwriting. They all worked extremely hard and this really does show! Great work Crew Ramsey keep it up 🙂
We watched a video of Dorothy seeing colour for the first time in Oz and then created some inspired drawings. The children were given autonomy to create whatever they wanted with the theme, ‘the colours of Oz.’ Here they are enjoying some creative literary time!
Last week the children explored the story Whatever Next! as part of their expedition learning. This story was incorporated into our continuous provision to support their understanding through play. The children were provided with simple 2D shapes such as circles, squares and triangles and encouraged to talk about the shapes and their properties. Using their knowledge, they created their own rockets inspired by the story.
This activity supported the children’s fine motor development as they manipulated and placed the shapes, while also developing their mathematical understanding of shape and space. The hands-on experience also provided rich sensory exploration and opportunities for discussion, linking storytelling with creative and mathematical learning. Well done crew Frost.
Yesterday and today we have been looking at describing who and doing. They children diod really well with this and they showed me that they are working hard.
We have been learning about the 2 times tables using bricks to visualise what this looks like. We noticed doubles! We then wrote out the abstract form and noticed the commutativity of multiplication… check us out!
