Massive well done to the children that attended the football tournament at Campsmount yesterday afternoon. Despite it pouring rain on us all afternoon, the children gave it 100% effort. Even though we didn’t win, we have discussed the importance of taking part and trying our best.
Yesterday we used all the chotting we created in our experience day on Monday to write our setting description on Thneedville, the town in the Lorax. We also learnt all about similes on Monday so we enjoyed applying our knowledge to our setting descriptions. We also applied everything we have been working on over the last few weeks, descriptive language and expanded noun phrases, conjunctions and some adverbials.
Ates loving the outdoors☔️
Today we thought about the Lorax’s appearance and personality. We worked in mini crews to build ideas together and then shared our ideas with the rest of the crew. We all had a go at writing an idea down and everyone shared one of their own. We will use our chotting after the holidays to create our own character description.
Crew Boswell are really enjoying their weekly guitar lessons 🎸They are learning new cords every week.
This term we have been writing about and reading Little Red Riding Hood. For our experience morning, in Crew Pashley, we made a witches potion ✨ for the Bad Wolf🐺 from Little Red Riding Hood. We discussed other ways to get rid of the wolf, like scaring him. The potion is used to get rid of the wolf when he eats grandma by turning him into a frog. We included lots of different things in our potions, including beads, pasta, rice and pom poms. We practised measuring out the potion into containers using a fake syringe, cups and the spoons.
Today we consolidated our place value knowledge in our magic maths session. We also started looking at fractions which we all enjoyed 🙂
Today was sadly our last cooking club, but we have ended with a delicious sounding recipe – jam donut muffins!! Hope you all enjoyed them!
This week we have been looking at how sound effects are made for cartoons and films. We talked about the ways in which different sound effects are applied usually after something has been filmed and then added to enhance certain noises. We thought about how we could create our own storyboard of something funny happening and how different sound effects could give those moments a ‘slap-stick’ feel. We also started thinking about instruments or objects in the classroom that might be able to make that sound.
During recorders, we were introduced to the note A. We looked at where we need to place our fingers before practising call-and-response style activities with Miss McGlone, playing different rhythms of the note A. We then took our new knowledge and played a piece called ‘Amazing Aeroplane’. ✨
