Charcoal Artists
Today we enjoyed using the charcoal to create 3D shapes and shadows. We drew the outline of the shapes and used smudging to create shading. We got very messy but we were so proud of the end results!
Clay Workshop
What an exciting afternoon Turtles have had! We walked to our local village hall to participate in a clay workshop with the British Ceramics Biennial. We had the opportunity to look at a range of artwork made from clay and then created our own ceramic tile with seeds inside! These will eventually…
Write like an Egyptian
Today we had so much fun pretending to write like an Egyptian; using hieroglyphics. We learned about how the Ancient Egyptians used symbols and pictures to communicate and had a go at writing using them by ourselves.
What should they eat?
Today we enjoyed looking at different food labels to decide what certain people should eat. We learned that what people should eat depends on their age, size, level of exercise and gender. We then looked at what an athlete would need to eat. After deciding they needed carbohydrates for energy, we…
Charcoal Cave Art
Today we took our art lesson outside to become Cave People. We explored using the charcoal to create lines then used our hands as a stamp to creative negative images. We got very messy but had lots of fun!
Exciting Emotions
Today we learned about different emotions in our story. We learned lots of new vocabulary and come up with actions and facial expressions to explain their meaning. We then thought about how Hansel and Gretel would feel at the different parts in our story ready for our re-tell next week!
Feature Finding
We were excited today to use our yellow highlighters in Writing! We were on the hunt for features we would find in a Narrative. We learned about using cliffhangers for suspense and dialogue to show what they characters were saying. After searching we made our own writing checklist which we will…
iPad Training
We were lucky enough to have a special visitor in school to teach us how to use our iPads for learning. We used an app called KeyNote to create our own story of Hansel and Gretel using pictures, audio and text. We had SO much fun and showed our visitor what an amazing school we are! Well…
Latin Launch
Today we had our first Latin lesson using our textbooks. We learned how to ask somebody who they were and how to reply. We then labelled a Latin family with their names, learning that for males ‘us’ is added at the end of his name and for a female ‘a’ is added at the end of her name.

Hundreds, Tens and Ones
We moved onto exploring 3 digit numbers today by partitioning them into their separate parts. We looked at numbers using dienes to understand what 3 digit numbers look like before writing addition number sentences using what we found out.
For this picture it would be: 200 + 40 + 5 = 245
Democracy
Today we voted for our first class text. We chose 4 different books, read the titles and blurbs and then had a post it note to vote for the one we wanted to read. We can’t wait to read Dave the Pigeon every day after our lunchtime break with Mrs Myatt :)
Maths Fun
Today we’ve enjoyed completing Maths activities for our lesson. We used our addition, subtraction and multiplication skills to solve problems, play games and to create colourful mosaics.
