Time capsule

When we were in forest school we found a time capsule! Inside there was clues we had to work out, we think they link to our Hall of Fame topic and are clues to Poole and Coleridge.

Poetry

We have been looking at poems about food this week. We looked at the words the authors chose and how they needed to be performed.

Toaster Time By Eric Merriam

Soggy Greens by John Cunliffe

Sounds Good! by Judith Nicholls

Sugarcake Bubble by Grace Nichols

Porridge is Bubbling by Anon

Peas by Anon

Spaghetti! Spaghetti!

To start our English poetry learning we looked at a poem all about spaghetti. Before reading the poem we played with cooked spaghetti, describing how it felt, smelt and looked.

Maths

We have been finding different ways to make a set amount using coins.

Triathlon

We had a great time at the triathlon running, jumping and dancing.

Taunton Museum Workshop

We had a great time this morning. We had a visitor from Taunton museum come and talk to us about Mary Seacole and Florence Nightingale. We were able to dress up and pretend we were in the Scutari Hospital, look into suitcases which contained items that Mary or Florence would have packed and match pictures to the correct sentence.

Research Presentations

Thank you to everyone who was able to come and see our presentations. The children were fantastic.

Golden Time

The children voted to try the apple game for golden time this week.

Chrome books

We have been learning how to log on and use the new chrome books this week.

English

Our English learning has been based around the book The Magic Finger by Roald Dahl. We have been acting out parts of the story to help us retell the story.

Village walk

For our topic we are looking at significant individuals of History. The children chose to look at Poole, Coleridge, Wordsworth and Davy. We went on a village walk to see if we could find any clues about why they are our school houses.
