Art/D.T - We have been learning about structures by creating our own castles from fairy tale stories we have been reading. First, we worked in teams to design our castles and then presented our ideas to the class, explaining the different features we wanted to include. After that came the fun part – building the castles! We used lots of different junk materials and worked really well together to create fantastic and imaginative castles. We are very proud of our designs and teamwork.
English - We continued our learning on fairy tales this week. We read the story of Cinderella before deciding on the main characters, main location, problem and solution. After, we created a story snake where we drew images for the part of the story we were going to look at more in depth. We then wrote a diary entry as though we were Cinderella, explaining what happened that night she ran from the ball.
P.E - This week in gymnastics, we focused on balance. We talked about the best way to land when making a jump, which we all decided was with our arms out to create balance - this ensured we didn't fall over! After we had mastered this jump, we made our jumps more interesting by adding something, such as a starfish as we jumped in the air.
