Today Mr Burrows from John Beddoes came to work with us for the first of our 6 sessions. We have learnt about programmatic music…music that makes us feel something! The lesson got very noisy and we worked with tea and coffee again!!!
We had another visitor today.
We played rugby whilst thinking about respect…working with someone who we don’t normally play with, helping them to wear their kit correctly, shaking hands after a tackle in tag rugby.
Would you rather, have dinner with a witch or a frog for dinner?
We discussed this question in great length and then took a vote. You will see from the photo that nearly all pupils chose to have dinner with a witch, mainly because frogs are too slimy!!
We listen to a live streaming of a story called ‘What do Monsters Munch?’ We joined in with the actions and even got 4 of our ideas read out by the presenter!
After the reading we were told about a competition to win a Giglets class box with helpful reading prizes in. If anyone would like to enter this competition you need to design a monster cake. This could be a drawing, painting or 3D model (Lego or junk modelling possibly?). If you do want to do this please bring in your entry of the Monday after half term. Happy creating!
We used our learning about human systems to create boards games. This was a lot of fun!
We had a lot of fun at Zumba on Wednesday. Thank you Tania!
We have enjoyed having Mr. Burrows coming in to teach us some music and helping us to create our own musical pieces. We learnt all about programmatic music and were shown how to create our own musical pieces with the theme of ‘A journey through space’. After learning how to play different instruments and keeping to beat and rhythm, we designed our own journey through space pieces and performed them to the class!
Pupils in year 5/6 competed in the cluster Netball tournament. Everyone enjoyed learning all about the game and showed great sportsmanship and teamwork through the tournament.
We enjoyed carving pumpkins for our special well-being activity today. Next year, we are going to try and grow our own from the seeds.
For literacy enrichment day, we looked at ly and simile sentences then used these to write some poetry about autumn. In the afternoon, we then created artwork to accompany our poems. We really enjoyed our day.
