This week we have been doing lots of learning. We have learnt about colours by naming them, mixing them and sorting them. The writing table was also popular this week, we have been developing our motor skills by following the lines to create patterns.
This week our focus for math's has been colours.
We started off out week by recognising and sorting colours.
We then carried out a colour mixing investigation. We learnt that an investigation was to explore and look closely and find something new out.
The children were given a magic mixing bag with some shaving foam inside and they chose two colours to mix. We discussed what colour they thought would be their new colour, and mixed them to see if they were right.
Here are some photos of the children mixing up their colours.
In Acorn this week we enjoyed playing with a variety of vehicles, in particular the big trucks!
Some of them, however, became very grubby and needed a good wash before we used them again outside. Step forward our task force of cleaners, ready to save the day!
This week in Year 5 we have been learning how to describe people's hair using a variety of new adjectives. We played a game on whiteboards using dice to practise the new vocabulary, then we played Quiz Quiz Trade using cards that included the new vocabulary to describe different teachers' hair. In Quiz Quiz Trade We had to form our own sentences using the following sentence starters:
Mon professor a .....
Ma professeur a ......
We've been practising our basketball skills.
This week in Humanties, Year 3 learnt about how fire was used during pre-history. We discussed how fire was used for warmth and cooking but also progressed to being used for making weapons. We built our own fires and role played how our fire would have been used.
