It’s May! Where did that come from?

It’s been a short week but as always, with a lot packed in. We’ve somehow managed three runs, we’ve looked at magnets, tried some Islamic style geometric art to mark the end of Ramadan and Eid, played cricket and tennis, had the glockenspiels out with Miss Butler, carried on our drawing skills using 2D shapes to draw a 3D can, started adventure stories in English, properties of shape in maths and legoed.

In order to mark the end of Ramadan and Eid, we tried our hand at some Islamic inspired geometric art. We started with a basic circle inside a square and 4 dots and went from there. The idea was to get our finished image and create a tessellated pattern. Just the act of drawing the lines led to a recognition of how hard it is to draw accurately!

As part of our looking at forces this half term, we got the magnets out and had a think about testing some of our own questions such as the classic, “Are big magnets stronger than small magnets?” We’ll need to come back to this as some of our data collections were a bit inventive but the questions generated made for some good science thinking.

I’ve not gone mad on the Lego photos this week. We tried programming an arctic buggy using the Scratch coding. We introduce the sensor next eek which will give the children another part to programme!
In art, we are continuing the sketching by finding the geometric shapes in things around us. This week, we used a simple cam looking at the circles and rectangles that make up the basic drawing shapes. We tried adding detail by boxing up where the main details went.

In English, we have started a unit on adventure stories. We are using a TinTin story to get us started with ideas. We had a go at turning a graphic novel style into a written version. It’s not quite true that a picture tells a thousand words but they certainly made up think carefully about our descriptions.

We started looking at 2D shapes in maths, some of their properties and how we could sort them.
