Who's that trip-trapping over my bridge?

Today we have carried on looking at our last traditional tale, The Three Billy Goats Gruff. We learnt a traditional Irish dance to Irish music. In math, we have been looking at pictograms. We collected data in groups about which traditional tale has been our favourite. We then put this into a pictogram.
We were busy on the writing table making our own trolls then describing them.
In science, we designed rafts out of different materials, for the goats to float across the river instead of using the bridge. We tested them in our water tray.
We created out very own diorama of The Three Billy Goats Gruff, cutting and sticking it all together.
With Mr Walshaw, we created an abstract scene from the traditional tale.
What a busy and exciting day we have had! I hope you all have a good rest and lovely half term.

11th and 12th February 2020
Over the past two days, children in Key Stage 1 have been learning more about Safer Internet Day. They looked at Buddy the Dog who helps them use the internet safely by using Buddy’s ‘Use Your Tablet Safely’ Song (Sung to the tune of Frère Jacques):
Ask your grown-up,
Ask your grown-up,
Ask for help!
Ask for help!
Use your tablet safely,
Use your tablet safely,
Woof, woof, woof!
Woof, woof, woof!
They also looked at Digiduck and why we should always ask permission before we send or use a picture taken of someone else. For more information, please visit: https://www.saferinternet.org.uk/safer-internet-day/2020

Today we have been looking at the traditional tale, Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We learnt a traditional Greek dance to music from Greece. In art, we have been busy drawing around 2D shapes then cutting them out to make bears and drawing patterns in paint on glass, then printing them onto paper. In textiles, we cut out little pieces of material and stuck them onto squares of card. We then stuck all of the card together to make a patchwork quilt for Baby Bear. In phonics, we recapped the phase three sounds using games on PhonicsPlay. A link to the website is here so you can play the games at home too: https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/Phase3Menu.htm

A Wednesday with a twist ...

Today we have carried on looking at different traditional tales. We learnt a traditional African dance to African music. Also we have thought about alternatives to eating meat so tried Mediterranean style falaffls, plant based sausages and quorn slices. We voted on which as enjoyed the most which was the quorn slices. In art we blew the paint across the paper to make different patterns. What a healthy day we all have had!
