Term 6 Week 6
Term 6 week 6
What a week we’ve had, this week is out eco art and DT week. We have created something an item or artwork from pre-existing materials.
In Chandra Class we cut up old t-shirts to create a quilt to represent each child, we drew our designs and sewed them together. We then used the off cuts to create something to take home.
In Sputnik, we collected toilet rolls, old cardboard, saved cut off pieces of paper, milk bottle lids and take away lids. We then used them to create a pen pot / desk tidy.
Voyager designed pictures of city scapes using newspaper…
We loved travelling around the school to see all of the amazing things our everyone has made.
As citizens, we have reflected on this last year and thought about what we are looking forward to next year. We wrote our ideas down on a leaf to create a class tree.
As scientists we understood the difference between batteries with varying voltage. We tested a variety of batteries with buzzers and light bulbs to find the higher the voltage the louder the buzzer or brighter the light bulb.
As linguists, we sequenced the story of little red riding hood in french and started to practice telling the story as a group. Some teams performed this week and the rest will perform next week so we can reflect on our performance.
As writers year 3/4 have re-told, sequenced and innovated the story of Flotsam to create their own sequel ‘Jetsam’ inspired by the final picture in the book.
As mathematicians, we have learnt an important skill of telling the time to 5 minutes and then also to the minute. It has been fantastic to seen the year 3s knowledge of time grow throughout the week.
As historians, Year 3/4 have looked at maps of our village and compared them. We found lots of similarities but also lots of differences.
