[slideshow]It was great to be builders, to construct house models that we designed with our talk trios last week.The powers that we have used are: planning, sharing and persistence.We also used time connectives that we added to our working wall.
We had a job list:
1: Construct and join material to make large net (top of house).
2:Cut out net for the bottom part of the house and then join.
3:Cut and attach card to construct a roof.
See if you can make one at home by using the powers that we have used today. HAVE FUN!

All children participated in class drama to learn how and why the fire spread. Children stood in a circle and each be a “house”.Two red bean bags were passed around the circle very quickly to show how quickly it spread. Children were encouraged to use historical language. Children also acted out in groups to show how people ran to their boats to escape the fire and others acted out when the fire started in the bakery.

[slideshow]Children were participating in different activities to see if they can persuade themselves to change their opinions on whether or not ants were useful insects.

They created a sand ant hill habitat.
They were finding interesting facts on large paper to add to working wall.
They made plastercine ants and discussed the features.

They worked in four teams. They brainstormed and came up with different ideas. Two groups decided to make a Tardis, another group made masks and the last group made screwdriver blasters.
They had to work together planning and using different techniques.

Today we have been celebrating the Royal Wedding by making flags, crowns and decorating dresses and suits. Some of the children have made some bunting for outside the school. Also some children made a Royal wedding cake from boxes and tubes.

Today in Plan, Do, Review the children chose the theme, ‘Sea Creatures’. They made water colour pictures of the animals that live in the sea and they researched on the computer all the unusual animals that live in the sea.

A small group of children made a giant sea monster from old cardboard boxes and lots and lots of masking tape. While others played with the sea creature animals making up their own stories. Also, some made masks. Can you guess who they are?

Today in plan, do and review we had the I.C.T. Club, where some children went on to a new programme called ‘Voki’ where they chose ‘Talking Avtar’ which talked back to them on whatever they typed into the computer.

2nd Activity was where the children were the Outstanding Teachers and delivered lessons with a lesson plan, which included Numeracy and Phonics.

3rd Activity was the Estate Agents where children used boxes to design a house that they were going to sell in a group with persuasive language, so that the buyer is interested in purchasing the property i.e, enormous swimming pool, 3 large bedrooms and a massage chair. Children also chose the price of the property.
