For Safer Internet Day on 10th Feb, we watched a CBBC Live Lesson about AI and helped to design a safe chatbot.
In PE last half term we learnt the skills needed to be a great Dodgeball player!
Fishkeeper Fry - Week 2. This week we have checked the water levels and added live plants ready for our fish next week.
This week we had a visitor from Doodlebug who taught us to draw the character Gromit. He also talked to us about being perseverant and not being afraid to make mistakes and to always use a growth mindset when facing a challenging task. We are very proud of our drawings.
We have started our Fishkeeper Fry programme and set up our fish tank. We are very excited to get fish soon.
In Art we are learning about prehistoric art. We have been looking at cave drawings and created our own line drawings of animals similar to these using charcoal.
In Computing, the pupils created stop-motion animations using iPads. They are fantastic!
In PE this half term we have been developing our own dances about machines. We had to think about how to represent the movements of a machine and how they might change if it breaks down. We loved watching each other's dances!
The children have really enjoyed learning about stop-frame animation in Computing this half term. They started by making flip books out of paper and then used the iPads to create short animations of a stick person waving. We are looking forward to sharing our final animations later in the term!
Bonfire Night: In art this week the pupils created a firework scene using chalk and pastels. They look fantastic!

GOAL Day
The class demonstrated many CHAMP qualities on GOAL day.
Volcano Day - The class had a wonderful day focussing our learning on our Geography topic volcanoes. We created a model of a volcano which we are going to later paint. We also wrote acrostic poems about volcanoes, drew some volcanoes and learned about how volcanoes are formed and why they erupt.
