It was really lovely to see the children supporting anti bullying today with their crazy socks! It is no strange occurrence in our class however that I wear odd socks quite often, to which the children will ask me if they are odd that day or not. I did today make more of an effort to make my socks very obviously odd and I was thrilled that my class and crew joined me in doing so too! We loved discussing our odd sock choices and I loved that for some it meant they could start to show their excitement for Christmas a wear something festive too! Thank you all for joining in!
Class 12 Remembrance
In G Block today, class 12 have been learning about the history of Remembrance Day and the understanding. They have produced some beautiful writing on the poem, ‘ In Flanders Fields’ Below is some examples.
Class 12: digital art work
Not bad at all for a first draft today they have smashed it out of the park and some have already told me what they want to do differently next time to improve for their second draft, so proud of your efforts guys.
Here are just a handful of examples of such beautiful work and craftsmanship.
Year 3/4 – Singing Homework
This week, Year 3 and 4 have been learning and studying the WW1 marching song – It’s a Long Way to Tipperary! We will be singing this at our Celebration of Learning / Christmas production so it would be really great if everybody could have a practise over half-term.
Thank you for your continued support, The LKS2 Team.
Year 3/4 Sculpture club
Another wonderful and successful club session today. Creating ‘fun and crazy’ sculptures with nothing but paper. This group are a wonderful creative bunch and worked really hard on their art work today! Very impressive guys, very big well done!
Class 12 – Vocabulary in reading
Another really lovely reading session today. Selecting a range of new words from the new sections of our class text. Today’s leaning had a shared responsibility. Each table group had to use dictionaries to find definitions of two words they picked at random. Then they needed to write the definition and the word used in an example sentence ready to share with the full class at the end. We the collated our learning at the end for a shared learning experience, you can see it captured half way through (but I forgot the final picture!!) Smashed it guys, great work all.
Class 12 – BBK for the Blitz
Leading their own learning for our Blitz learning. Having several questions around the room and an information sheet they got to work working, each question built up their knowledge gradually for them to be able to recall back to me at the end of the lesson.
Class 12 – vocabulary in reading
Class 12 are really impressing me in our reading lessons. This one was focused on vocabulary. Here the children had to match a definition to the correct word. All words have been selected from our focus text. When the definitions were matched and checked they then set to work using the new vocabulary in their own sentences, allowing me to see if they were able to use the words in the correct context. Great job guys!
Sculpture club
This week we made 3D faces and aimed to apply some of the the techniques we learnt over the last couple of weeks. Loops, folds, curls, fringe, arches and tabs! They all got stuck in straight away and I was extremely impressed with all their efforts this week! Well done guys and thank you for having a go and listening so well!
Class 12 – reading fluency
Today in reading fluency, we did something a little different. I shared with the children the next 6 pages of our book and they had to read through them but they were in the wrong order. Realising that the story wasn’t in chronological order and events jumbled, they then spent the rest of the lesson reordering it and discussing why each piece came next. Well done!
