We learn how to play the pbone with Mr Bell every Tuesday. This week we learned how to accompany ‘The Eye of the Tiger’ using notes D and Bflat. We also had a fun competition to see who could play the longest note. Next week we are going to learn some new notes.
Every Wednesday, we learn how to read texts and answer a range of questions about them. We enjoyed working together to analyse the text and then think about how we can use the text to help us answer the questions.
In our circle assembly, we discussed ways we could save energy in school.
Our ideas included:
- Opening the curtains and blinds to let light in
- Turning off lights when we leave a room
- Turning off taps
- Wearing more layers
- Only putting on the heating when we need it
Miss Fairbrother takes afterschool sports club and this week we are learning how to play football and Chinese football.
Today in computing we looked at the physical hardware used to make a computer. In groups we looked at some very strange looking computer parts and tried to guess what they did. We then used our knowledge to match pictures, titles and descriptions of parts that can be found both inside and outside of a computer.
In French we watched a French firework song video to learn firework vocabulary and then we made firework pictures from French words.
This week in French we practised our numbers to 20 and parts of the face. The children told Madame Harvey in French what to draw to make a monster face on the board e.g. une grande tete, dix-sept yeux, deux bouches. They then worked with a partner to describe a monster for their partner to draw.
Jamie and Sabina’s grandparents visited school to talk to Diamond Class about what it is like to be Sikh. They learned all about the Gurus and the 5Ks. We had a wonderful time learning how to write in Punjab.
We celebrated our Harvest Festival in St Margaret’s Church Fleggburgh with Reverend Steven. We thanked God for our local harvest and talked about produce at our local farm. Year 6 explained how we used their pumpkins to make soup and Emerald Class talked about how we made potato scones with the potatoes we harvested.
Diamond Class finished our service with prayers of thanks and then everyone came back to school for Harvest Tea.
The Year Sixes were lucky enough to pick a pumpkin but struggled to carry it. We made a big soup with them and this is how we made it. We started with taking out the middle of the pumpkin. Then we took out the seeds and put them in a bowl. After that, we cut the pumpkin into cubes. Then we put them in a bowl then put them in a cooking pot. We had to peel the delicious onions and cut them up. Fortunately, James seemed to be immune to the onions, unfortunately for everyone else they cried. Next, we added our finally chopped onions to our cubes of pumpkin in the cooker. We poured some vegetable stock into the cooker before finally putting the lids on, turning the heat up. When it was cooked, it was delicious.
