In geography, we are learning about mountains. We studied Mount Everest looking at what mountain range it is located in, its features and then we researched and presented facts about it.
Diamond Class Activities
Our Biographies
We chose who we would like to write a biology of and researched their life. We then drafted and wrote their biography.
Timeline
We studied Tim Burners-Lee’s biography and produced a timeline of his life.
New Vocabulary
We are reading Tim Berners-Lee’s biography which contains lots of subject specific language. We learned techniques to help us understand vocabulary we don’t know then matched words to their definitions.
World Mental Health Day
We all celebrated World Mental Health Day with the charity Young Minds # Hello Yellow. We wore yellow and thought about how we can help ourselves and others promote positive mental health. Singing happy songs definitely helped!
Cross Country
Nine very determined children went to the Acle clusters cross country tournament. They all ran exceptionally well and we thank them for representing us so well.
Harvest Festival
Diamond Class are reading ‘Kiki Kallira breaks a kingdom’ and used the book as inspiration for their harvest festival service. It was set in Kiki’s sketched world of Mysore in India.
The class researched food in Mysore, wrote a piece for the harvest service and created a picture to illustrate the food. They really enjoyed making bondas’ an Indian potato snack and trying the sweets Mysore Pak and jalebis.
The Colour of Us
We read the book ‘The colours of us’ and each painted our own portraits using the book as inspiration. We are going to combine our portraits with Salhouse and Neatishead Primary schools to create a federation ‘The colour of us’.
Keep checking our class page to see the finished piece!
Peppered Moths
In science, we investigated Peppered Moths. They used to be with black dots, but as their environment became more dirty from pollution, they have adapted to become black so that birds cannot find them and eat them. We made some dotted moths and some black moths and hid them in an area of the playground for our partners to find.
