Today was our e- safety so we have been learning about how to stay safe online and about famous people who work in computing! Have you shown your adults ‘interland’ yet- would they pass the online safety test?

Thank you to all who were involved in our Arts fortnight. We have had a brilliant two weeks in the Arts studio, creating drama and dancing!

We have been continuing our ‘Free to be me’ arts fortnight based around our identity and looking at the book ‘Voices in the park’. We have been practising our dance, song and drama for our celebration next week!

We have also been looking at faces and ways we can make faces with everyday objects. This is a more abstract way of looking at faces compared to the watercolours we painted ear,Uber in the week. We are very excited to show off our art.

We have started our Arts fortnight with some self portraits. We looked at the positioning of our noses, eyes and ears and were quite surprised when we found out that our pupils are in line with the corners of our mouth. Did you know your ears are roughly in line with your nostrils?

We have really enjoyed our reading for pleasure time in our library this year and have made the most of our brilliant school facilities. We have been reading everything from Tom Gates to cookery books and Romans non- fiction books. What is your favourite book? Could you describe it to someone in your family and rate it out of 10?

Take a look at one of our iMovie film trailers that we made earlier in the week. This was to help us wrap up all of our learning from this half term. The trailer maps the Roman invasion of Britain in a Horrible Histories style! The children loved filming the footage and using their amazing Roman shield, which they made last half term, as a prop during the battle scene!

Today we had a very exciting workshop with Sam the sound man exploring how sound is made, what makes different pitches and how we could even make our own instruments. Can you remember how to make a recorder out of a straw? What happens to pitch when you make strings longer or shorter?

We have been learning about factors and factor pairs this week and have been practising physically modelling factors …on the floor!

Today was mosaic day and we started out by arranging our mosaics and learning how to snip them into shape. We then reflected on how we could make them clearer and how we would go about gluing the shapes. We were really happy with the final results!
