We had a great time with Jim today, learning to use the ‘Stop Motion’ App to create our animations, firstly of our names and then with ‘Tiddler’ characters.
We have had a lovely afternoon with Sharon inventing our very own story. We are going to complete this next month when Sharon returns for her next visit.
We had an exciting morning with Peter who was teaching us Circus Skills.
Years 2, 3 and 4 enjoyed a cinema trip to Newtown yesterday to watch ‘The Cat in the Hat’ by Dr Seuss. For their Mantle of the Expert work this Term they have been commissioned by Dr Seuss to write a play based on one of his stories. The trip was part funded by the Friends of School and part funded by the money that their classes raised for the Christmas Fayre.
Today we took part in the Cwis Dim Clem. We were the third of 27 schools to take part. We will have to wait to find out if we have got through to the next round.
We had 2 winning teams. If our score of 30/40 is high enough, 4 out 5 of them will represent Knighton in the next round!
This term Aderyn Du have started reading and learning about the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We have enjoyed the story so far and have completed descriptive writing about Charlie Bucket’s house and we also had a go at drawing in the style of Quentin Blake. Here are some of our drawings – we were very pleased with how they turned out!
We have been enjoying reading this book so far this term. We have completed some descriptive writing around the characters and creating emotions within scenes. We have created freeze-frames of the moment Charlie found the Golden Ticket. We have also tried to create some portraits in the style of Quentin Blake…here are some of our first attempts at painting them.
This afternoon, we went outdoors and made images of story character ‘Tiddler.’ The children did an amazing job, creating the fish shape, fins, scales and other features. Great team work!
