Class 3LS have been learning how to play along with the tune of one of the songs they learned. Using the notes E F# G A and B they accompanied the verse of the song Myths And Mysteries, part of the series about Ancient Greece they have been following.
Class 3SS have been learning the vocabulary for clothes in their French lessons. Here they are practising their knowledge of vocabulary with a card game. They also enjoyed singing a bi-lingual song on the topic. By the end of the lesson, they were able to remember all the key words.
Year 4 have been learning how to use colour adjectives in French together with the vocabulary for clothes. Here they are practising their writing skills using whiteboards. They also performed very well on the iPads in their multiple choice quiz. Several pupils scored full marks.
To wrap up their fictional writing unit, 4C read their finished 'Kapok Tree' stories to Year 1 on Monday, reading in an engaging way to make sure they captivated their audience. 1Q listened very carefully and shared their favourite parts of each story.
Class 5F have been writing a prequel to a story that we have been reading. They had to show awareness of tone, literary features and pace. To help them refine their stories, they read them out loud while their partner recorded them on the iPad, they then edited anything they spotted when they watched it back.
Class 6W are exploring the wonderful world of quadrilaterals this week. A topic full of precarious spelling and drawing. All quadrilaterals have four solid straight sides, but that is where the similarities end. From parallelograms to truncated trapeziums, 6W are learning that the are all the same, yet all special because of their differences.
Year 6 are preparing for being ready for Year 7 and this involves consolidating our learning, filling the gaps in our knowledge and having mastery of what we learn. This week we did this through interaction and white boards. If things were not understood, then Mrs Collie was on hand to have a drop-in explanation session.
STEM club started to build their bug hotel this week, after selecting the best spot on the school grounds by carrying out online research. Mr Knowles showed them how to move the pallets into place and secure them together. Then we talked about what we could start collecting to fill the insides with lots of places for bugs to live!
Year 5 and 6 children who attend the Reading For Pleasure club worked with our Reception Story Club this week. It was a lovely way for the children to share their love of reading.
