Class 3 had a lovely day exploring Combe Martin Wildlife Park. The park's vast grounds gave them the closest thing to a rainforest experience that North Devon could offer, with the tropical house giving them an idea of the humid climate. They encountered various animals including many from the rainforests. They were lucky enough to have an opportunity to feed some [...]
In literacy, class 3 are basing their writing on The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry. Here are some images of them retelling the story using dance and drama.
Thanks again to Mrs Patterson who helped the class to learn three difficult pieces of music but also to play Boomwhackers and recorders (first time picking a recorder up for them!) and playing 'In The Jungle'(cue the 'weeooooooo' sound; you'll know what I mean when you play it) and also the difficult March of The Lions, to very good effect [...]
A giraffe is a maze with patterns on his body so everyone gets confused. A giraffe is a ginger pony galloping across the fields. A giraffe is a spotty jumper wrapped around me keeping me snug. A giraffe is a spotty pillow waiting to be sat on. A giraffe is a onesie lying on your bed waiting for you to [...]
Some lovely Roman projects starting to come in from the children in class 3 at the moment. This is Isla's homework on mosaics, answering interesting questions she's picked out for herself to research. I love the interesting fact that Pompeii's mosaic flooring has been preserved from the covering of ash and are really good quality ones to view. Behind Isla's [...]
Class 3 started on some mosaic tiling this afternoon as part of their Roman topic work. Before doing the real thing with clay in a couple of weeks time, this is the dry run. They learnt that....Ruby: if you make it too detailed it's too difficult. Millie: that you don,t leave massive spaces but not too small either. Polly: gaps [...]
Class 3 were sent back in time today to AD50. They took part in a fantastic workshop delivered by RAMM (The Royal Albert Memorial Museum). The day started off in class 3 which was turned into a round house complete with a Celtic museum. The lights were turned off and music played and stories told to take us back in [...]
From the molten inner core (they're melting) to the grass on the outside (fingers representing the grass!) we acted out being the planet Earth!
This morning we learnt about compass directions. "We got in to partners. One person closed their eyes (hid by the skate racks) whilst the other wrote down their paces and directions on some scrap paper, where they dropped off one of the plastic animals. Their partner then tried to follow the directions to find their animal. With lots of children [...]
Miss Hill videoed some more this afternoon and Miss Butters put them through their paces with the dancing (I think she sang along a little too!) Here they are so you can either dance along and have fun with us (we've heard you enjoy it) or practice in preparation for your role on stage in a couple of weeks! Have [...]
