Happy Birthday to Ralph, our school dog, who is 6 today. He is sporting a rather fetching jumper on this cold, cold morning. Have a great day, we hope Miss Bjorck spoils you.
What have we tried to do today Brain? Same thing we do every day Iver.....
Joe Wicks pushed the children to their physical limits but they still gave it a good go! They enjoyed their break outside as the weather gave them their freedom once more! They quickly settled back to their learning and completed their maths and English tasks. We continued our musical journey through the decades. We time travelled from the 60's to the 90's. The children wrote their own raps.... yo yo yo take a look a the photo...... bro! 😎 Here is our very own Miss Couves reading the next 2 chapters from one of her favourite books... did you enjoy yesterday's video? Hugo and Ralph are using their free time to complete their Blog on Purple Mash...
What have you completed on Purple Mash? Please email your class teacher! We did not let the weather dampen our spirits!
The children came in and got their motivation from exercising with Joe Wicks - there was no stopping them after this! After their daily learning doing maths and English they spent break playing Dodgeball in the hall with Mr Matthams. At 11.00 a.m. we held a minute's silence to honour the NHS and key workers. This week we are researching music through the decades. Today the children started their project by learning all about music from pre-historic times to the decade of Rock and Roll, the 1950's. They enjoyed listening to swing music, Elvis Presley and also dancing to Viva Las Vegas and Jail House Rock. The children have also begun preparing their script for their own news bulletin which they are planning to film and record. Today we have had a lovely day settling back after the sunny weekend. The children started the day doing PE with Joe Wicks and showed the adults up including Joe Wicks who kept falling over! They then enjoyed doing their learning and there have been some impressive scores on the arithmetic tests - Mr Clifford will be pleased!
Due to the weather changing as of tomorrow the children made the most of being outside and played a variety of sports such as football, tennis, ping-pong and basketball. The final country of our round the world trip this week was Italy in Europe.
The children started the day with their Joe Wicks workout and then went outside to water the plants in the beds, in the polytunnel and in the library. It was time for Maths after this and then Computing where the children did some research about Italy, before using the information they had found to produce a poster about the country in English. During lunch Jake wowed everyone with his extensive knowledge of many different sports including cricket and rugby - this was followed by another game of cricket. The afternoon started with some mindfulness colouring before the children had a go at making ciabatta pizzas which everyone enjoyed! We finished our week by watching Mr Clifford's Brainiac awards video clip. It has been a great week virtually visiting the different countries. We thought that we would bring the Celebration Assembly to you this week ... so Mr Clifford has filmed himself reading out this week's winners! Mr Hawkes also filmed himself doing the Sportiac which will follow. We have had over 1,000 clicks on the website this week and we thank you for your continued support and all of the wonderful learning you are doing at home. So, today's country in North America was ... Jamaica.
After starting the day with some quiet reading and then the more vigorous Joe Wicks workout, the children all worked together to ensure all the plants in the polytunnel and in the library were all sufficiently watered. It was then time for some maths and then break where the children took their kites out to fly again and had a great time doing this. After break the children located Jamaica on our giant map of the world before using laptops to do some research about the country and then writing a paragraph about what they had found out. During lunch time the children played cricket again and then it was time for some Art. They found out about a Jamaican artist called Bernard Hoyes - one of the most famous artists from Jamaica - and looked particularly at one of his most famous paintings, the vibrant Dancing Ladies. The children practised techniques for using oil pastels before having a go at drawing their own dancing lady and colouring it using the techniques they had learnt with oil pastels. They produced some great pictures. Our final continent tomorrow is going to be Europe. Here are some amazing examples of Home Learning from across the year groups:
