This week, the children were given letters that they wrote, in Year 4, to their future selves. They had so much fun reading their letters and loved finding out if they had achieved their targets they had set themselves.
Collaborative Writing
Today, we have been experimenting with using a range of conjunctions, including some more sophisticated ones: despite, provided that, contrary to…
Expressing our feelings
Year 6 are not happy with the possibility of a reduction of break times and wrote their feelings straight onto the desks.
We will be writing a formal letter to Mrs Paddock to try to persuade her to keep break times as they are.
TT Rockstars Day
Looking fabulous and working hard for TT Rockstars Day!
Even Mr Dodd came dressed up!
Investigating nets of a cube
This afternoon, we investigated how many different nets we could make for a cube. We drew our nets on squared paper and coloured them to show which faces would be parallel to each other.
Headlines
This morning, we looked at what made a good headline: short and catchy, use of puns, play on words, alliteration and rhyming. We had fun trying to guess what the news report was about just from the headlines given. We then came up with different ideas for the headline of our news report, about the final battle in Macbeth, before selecting which one we preferred.
World Book Day
Enjoying relaxing and reading in our pjs.
We have also written a book review about our favourite book or a book that we have read recently.
This afternoon, we will be designing our own book cover for this book.
Macbeth Comic Strips
This week, we have been creating comic strips based on the story of Macbeth.
- First, we planned, using a storyboard, which parts of the story we wanted to include.
- Next, we took photos, thinking carefully about the kind of shots we needed: action shots, close ups, angled shots.
- After this, we inserted our photos into Publisher and included special effects.
- We created our comic strip using all the necessary features: speech bubbles, thought bubbles, text boxes and onomatopoeia.
The finished results look great!
