In Literacy we used where’s wally pictures to see how important it is to describe noun’s. We began by looking for the clown in the picture, the picture was full of clowns so we had to add in more description. Can you find the red clown, and then the red clown with yellow buttons, the red clown with yellow buttons and blue and white striped trousers. We used these skills to describe the old woman in our story. The children came up with super descriptions!
Wow!!! We had so much fun during our ignite morning!! The children built a lego village, they then made electrical circuits to make their houses light up! They even got to make a train move along the tracks! I have never seen so many learning zone 5’s! Best of all Mr Garside who came in to do the workshop said he was so amazed by the behaviour and maturity the children showed! We are proud of the children every single day but for someone else to say it just proves how wonderful they are!
We think the photos will speak for themselves!
We had great fun igniting our pirate project, the children showed fantastic learning zones throughout the day and their was a lovely buzz of excitement! We started the day with a treasure hunt to find a diary entry from a cabin boy, we will be exploring this further in literacy and having a go at writing our own! We moved on to make some musical instruments and then learnt lots about who pirates are!! We are looking forward to linking sound with our pirate project and will keep the website updated with celebrations of their learning!
As we were so inspired by the mosaics we saw on our trip to the Verulamium we decided to create our very own for Brooklands!
On Wednesday an artist came to school to help us make a piece of history for the school, which will last for years and remind us of our core values, Open, Grow and Believe. Here are some sneak previews of the children’s amazing work…
Year 4 today shared their incredible learning with their parents as they invited them into their living tomb. The children first had the problem of trying to entice their parents into the tomb and began by reading their persuasions to them. Some parents seemed hard to win over but the children managed to wow them with their vocabulary and their ideas.
After this, the parents were able to look at some of the Egyptian artefacts that the children had created across the project and were able to meet two embalmers giving a demonstration of mummification as one of our children became a real life mummy.
The tomb and persuasions were well received and the children created a fantastic show, explaining all of their knowledge that they had learnt over the last 4 and a half weeks.
4a have spent some time in the last two weeks in amazing learning zones but also learning together to grow their understanding. The more growth we can achieve together will move us toward achieving our goals.
