Thank you to Louise from Pyjama Drama. We had a fantastic time using our drama skills to pretend Pinocchio went on a plane to Spain where he had a fantastic camping holiday, swam in the sea, went to a park and had a train ride. We role-played that we were Pinocchio in the ending of our story.
Today, we were joined by Louise from Pyjama Drama. Louise worked with us to create a story about a family visiting a theme park and going on a rollercoaster ride. Here are some pictures of us acting out our story in our groups.
We’re almost ready to design our skyscrapers but first we need to know what types of structures there are. They’re all quite wordy and full of technical descriptions so we’ve had a go at building little models that represent the different types of structures, for example; braced frame, rigid frame, wall-frame, shear wall, core and outrigger, infilled frame, flat plate & flat slab, tube and coupled.
Reception have been learning to recognise and name 2D shapes. Here, they used the shapes to create a picture. The pupils talked about their shapes and named the ones they had used.
On Thursday Aderyn Du had Mr Burrows from John Beddoes Campus come into class to teach them about some music relating to China. They had a go at creating their own music using the glockenspiels.
As part of our Mantle, we went over to Brynny to measure the area and perimeter of the field. We used trundle wheels!
Ces i amser da!! = We had a great time!
We used our digital skills to create our very own music on the iPads. We were all very good at this and loved exploring on the Chrome Music Lab.
Congratulations to our Welsh badge winners last week. You have been using lots of incidental Welsh inside and outside of the classroom. Bendigedig pawb!!
As part of our Mantle Topic ‘Skyscrapers,’ Aderyn Du have been planning a skyscraper to Build in Cardiff. We have been looking at different designs and structures and different ways they could be built. We explored a variety of structures by using spaghetti and marshmallows. As you can see from the pictures, some of our structures were unsuccessful, so we evaluated our designs and tried again. We discussed how we could improve our structures and how we could make them stronger and taller.
As part of our Mantle this term, Aderyn Du are designing new skyscrapers to be built in Cardiff. We went onto the field to measure the perimeter of our buildings and decided if we thought it was a suitable size. We then calculated the total area and perimeter of our skyscrapers.
