Week 6 - Safe Hygiene

This week the coronavirus is all over the news.  The children were really worried so I decided to teach them about viruses and how to wash their hands. The class watch these two videos...

The out came the ice cream containers with water, hand soap and paper towels.  Lots of happy birthdays then were sung around the room as they learnt to wash their hands correctly.

Week 6 - Bruce Potter Visit

Bruce Potter came to school on Tuesday.  He is an artist, illustrator and author.

First he drew the most amazing picture in front of the children with lots of audience participation.

Then he showed the children a book he has written called Doodlebug.  There were loads of amazing illustrations that when he zoomed in the detail was incredible.

If you want to watch the song of Doodlebug have a look below...

One of his other famous books is Penny the Prolific Pooing Cow. I hope you enjoy it...

Week 5 - Sunflower writing

We are learning how to build a picture in the readers mind by adding adjectives to our writing.  

This week we went down to the garden and had a look at the beautiful sunflowers.  The children wrote while they were down there and then came back to draw some sunflowers.

The work is stunning...

Jamie and Angela had their work chosen for the Week 6 school newsletter. 

Such a proud teacher moment... 

Week 3 and 4 - Maths

 

In Week 3 I taught the children about how to feel about maths positively.  Then they got to play lots of cooperative games such as 1 - 2 NIM...  Have a look below if you want to learn how to play it...

In Week 4 they then got to put all the learning into practice and work alongside a buddy to solve some number problems.  It was fantastic to see them getting excited about maths and being so proud of their efforts.

Here are some of the problems.

Week 4 - Self Portraits

Over the past 2 weeks the children have been learning about how to build a picture in the readers mind by using adjectives.  

They learnt how to sketch a picture of themselves and around the outside they glued adjectives to describe themselves.  These are such wonderful self portraits.  

Here are just a few.  

Pop in and come and see the rest...
