On October 19th Year 6 have been invited to be part of ‘Diwali a Celebration of Light Festival’ at the Town Hall, Birmingham. We will be singing and taking part in a lantern procession.
In preparation we had a lantern making workshop where we all made our individual lanterns which will hold tea light candles in them.
This week the children worked on following instructions on how to log on and log out of a computer by putting in their user name and password. We then watched a small clip on ‘what is the internet?’
We then discussed with the whole class on what we are going to be doing in computing next term and getting them ready for their first lesson on coding.
Today in computing we talked about how we follow instructions and discussed ‘what is the internet?’ We also went through all the different parts of the computer and discussed each part.
This week in Science and Art, we have been learning all about the famous Andy Goldsworthy and his amazing art work. He is a sculptor who creates sculptures out of natural materials. We explored his art work and looked at the different patterns and techniques that he put his art work together. We then collected our own natural materials and made our very own sculptures.
Take a look at our sculptures!
Today in PHSE our topic was about ‘role models’ we asked
the children to write down on their white boards who their role model is and what is it that inspires them.
Today in year 4 we talked about different rules that we have, we discussed what the rules were on the playground, walking into assembly, crossing the road and driving. children had to complete the sheet in pairs of all the different rules. Children worked well.
Today in computers the children had to create a script that creates buttons that draw different shapes when clicked.
Our topic for this half term is Potions. We started by looking at different fantasy creatures in our literacy lessons. Then we designed our own fantasy creatures and explained how they used their magical powers.
We thought about something magical that we wanted to be able to do, for example, fly like an phoenix, grow as tall as a giant, run as fast as a unicorn, or become as strong as a troll.
We created a potion using a variety of magical ingredients, such as:
We had a great time making our potions!
