We all tried our best at our sports day this afternoon. We took part in a variety of races such as running, egg and spoon, hurdles, skipping, chair crawl, dribbling a ball, obstacle course, etc.
We collected lots of points for our house teams.
Ladybird came 3rd, Grasshopper 2nd and Dragonfly were the winners.
At our sports day this afternoon, as well as collecting points for our house teams, we collected individual points. The three highest scores from each class were awarded bronze, silver and gold medals.
Well done to everyone for trying their best.
Albrecht Dürer was a German artist. In class 4, children looked at his famous pen and ink drawing on blue paper called ‘Praying Hands’ created in 1508. The class used magnifying classes and Ipads to capture photos of their hands before they sketched them. I think you’ll agree, they did a great job.
Today class 4 used a variety of instruments to create their own musical compositions. They also wrote the correct notation on a stave and used a mixture of minims, crochets and semibreves.
In Design Technology lessons the children in Class 2 will be making puppets. Today we made a moving ‘Very Hungry Caterpillar’. They were great fun to play with.
We all enjoyed an icecream today to help us cool down. Even the teachers! They were delicious.
This morning the boys in Class 1 were amazed to find their names written outside. They each had a paintbrush and some water and enjoyed ‘painting’ over the letters in their names and watching what happened. They all knew that the water disappeared because “the sun dried it”. They loved it so much that they kept asking for their names to be written again and again!
Today Class 4 used Stop Motion software to create their interpretation of the story Eric by Shaun Tan. Some children created a moveable Eric character, others adapted the storyline and some added sound effects.
The story explores cultural differences as the foreign exchange student Eric arrives and is interested in very different things to those the family imagine.
