In Aderyn Du we have been learning about the religion Buddhism and how Mandalas are a circular figure representing the universe in Buddhist Symbolism. We drew our own designs in class and went outside to create Mandalas using natural materials we could find in the school grounds.
We loved creating an obstacle course for Tiddler. We used our prepositional language to direct Tiddler around the obstacle course. We followed the route ourselves and had great fun!
We learnt about Chinese New Year and how it is celebrated. We created these snakes, as it is the ‘Year of the Snake’.
In Pyjama Drama we listened to the story of ‘The Cat in the Hat’ and then we acted parts of the story. After the session we enjoyed some parachute games.
We had a fantastic day with Jim making ‘Stop Motion Amination.’ Firstly, we used our names and we used a special machine to cut out the letters of our name. Secondly, we the story of The Gruffalo to make an exciting animation.
We have been working with Sharon to create a story about the ‘Goodlands’ and ‘Badlands’. We have started by looking at the structure of a story and then in groups we created our own settings for our stories. We also acted out what it would be like to live in our ‘Goodlands’.
We had a great time with Jim today, learning to use the ‘Stop Motion’ App to create our animations, firstly of our names and then with ‘Tiddler’ characters.
We have had a lovely afternoon with Sharon inventing our very own story. We are going to complete this next month when Sharon returns for her next visit.
We had an exciting morning with Peter who was teaching us Circus Skills.
This afternoon, we went outdoors and made images of story character ‘Tiddler.’ The children did an amazing job, creating the fish shape, fins, scales and other features. Great team work!
