                                               Literacy 

In literacy we looked at the Pearl Diver and improved our vocabulary by looking at a part of the story and writing it out and then improving it. As a class we took each word and tried to think of better words instead. Then we wrote our own piece of the  story with our best vocabulary. 

                                          Maths

We have done lots of Christmas themed activities such as a Sudoku puzzle, co-ordinates colouring and problem solving 'Who killed Santa?'.

                                           Art

We were making are perspective cards look nice so we can show are mums and dads and they can be proud of us! First we had a template to practise on. We have been looking at drawing in perspective. We had a choice between doing an indoors or outdoors scene. There are three different levels on the card, one is the background which is furthest away and there is a middle and foreground. 

We learnt how to draw in perspective and we improved our watercolour skills. 

We also made cute little robins. We made them by cutting out a hoop on card two times. Then we put them together and started to wrap wool around the card, one quarter must be red and three quarters brown. Once we had done that, and it was thick enough, we cut the wool in between the two cardboard layers and carefully looped a long piece of wool around it and tied it tight. We had to make sure that none of the wool came out or your robin would be ruined. Then you can decorate with a beak and googly eyes. 

We showed them in  craft assembly on Wednesday.

Songsters have done lots of practice for their very successful  concert on Tuesday evening.Throughout the afternoon they were practising so much while the rest of us were doing a Christmas quiz about movies, music and much more!     




  Merry Christmas everyone!

In literacy we have been  looking at the story the Cat and Mouse. We were identifying the prepositions in the story. A preposition tells you the position of a noun. For example, the mouse is UNDER the table. The cat went THROUGH the catflap. The mouse was hiding BEHIND the cupboard. 
We have read the story of the Pearl Diver as a class. We wrote a diary entry about a day in the life of a pearl diver. We think we wouldn't like to be pearl divers because there are lots of threats in the water. Seahorses can make you go blind! In the story, Saeed's dad gets attacked by a shark, he escapes by sticking his fingers in the sharks gills.
