The Jewish Synagogue

We have learning about the Jewish Synagogue and looking at the different artefacts you might find in the Synagogue.

We asked lots of questions about them!

Stretchy (not smelly!) socks

We have been investigating how stretchy different socks are. We worked well in our teams whilst measuring the lengths using strips of paper.

The Three Little Pigs at Coombe Abbey!

We had a fantastic time at Coombe Abbey today!

We listened carefully to the story of The Three Little Pigs before we built a house of sticks for the pigs. We worked well in our teams and helped each other to carry the sticks and logs. Afterwards we looked at each house and tried to blow them down. They all stayed standing and the Big Bad Wolf was defeated by our sturdy houses.

Days of the Week.

This morning we have been practising spelling the days of the week in lots of different and fun ways. We need to keep practising spelling the days of the week and this is something we can do at home.

Please send in any photos of you practising this in a fun or interesting way!!

Autumn!

As a celebration of our Seasons topic this half term we learnt an Autumn song. Enjoy!

Bee-Bots!

Today we programed a Bee-Bot with an algorithm to find treasure on a pirate's map. Then we worked in groups to write our own algorithm which we then gave to another group to program into the Bee-Bot.

The Creation Story

We have spent this week finding out about the Creation Story.

We went outside and thought of words to describe our wonderful world.

Our Five Senses

This week in Science we have been exploring our five senses. One of the lessons we found out about our sense of smell by smelling different smells whilst blindfolded and then guessing what it was. We were very good at guessing!

Jigsaw

We have started a new PSHE scheme called Jigsaw. Today we all said "Hello" to Jigsaw Jack before talking about how we can help each other to learn in the classroom.

Class Star!

We have a star in the classroom!

This star hangs off the back of a child's chair who is being a star in the classroom during the day.

Giuseppe Arcimboldo

We have been learning about the artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo this week. The children have found out about his life as well as some of the art he created. We have been using a variety of different media to create our own pieces of work in the style of Arcimboldo. The above piece is called 'Autumn'. We created it as a class using lots of Autumn leaves, conkers, apples and twigs.

Talk for Writing

We can talk the story of 'Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?' using our class story map. We also have created actions for each part of the story.
