Class 9's Spring 2 Learning Journey

Celebration!

In Class 9, we've had a fantastic half term! We've showed Miss Culshaw so many of the school values from being respectful all the way to being resilient!

We also had children receiving their reading badges and prizes!

Also well done to those children that have won a TT Rockstars Certificate! Keep up the brilliant work!

Literacy

During this term in Literacy, we used the Land of Make Believe as our inspiration and created two amazing outcomes. For our first piece we used skills such as prepositional phrases, different sentence types and high-level vocabulary to describe three different settings – a forest, a castle and a waterfall. We impressed Miss Culshaw with our determination to produce a beautifully presented final piece.

LIRA

In LIRA this term, we firstly focused on the story of Arthur and The Golden Robe, we enjoyed discussing our predictions and also liked using the pictures of the story to help us with our answers. We then moved onto focusing on the story The Explorers! During these topics we explored comprehension style questions and used our own opinion to give detailed answers!

Maths

In maths this half term we recapped measure and geometry! We then applied our skills to problem solving and reasoning questions.. We really impressed Miss Culshaw with our resilience and determination to further our understanding and learning during our maths lessons! We have also been improving our arithmetic skills, week after week! Keep up the brilliant work Class 9!

Science

In science this term our unit was light and how we see things. During this unit we learnt all about how we see things and also about light. During this unit we had lots of opportunities to take part in experiments linked to light and sight.

We also took part in National Science week, where we were tasked to create a bridge which held the most amount of weight! We used the school values of collaboration and resilience to ensure our bridges were best suited.

Art

During this half term our focus has been on Art. During this topic we explored the great artists of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Mark Rothko. In our lessons we have experimented with different mediums including water colours and acrylic paints. We have learnt all about the different colour types and used these to create our own colour wheel based on the colours Mark Rothko used in his artwork. Our final outcome was too produce a self portrait in the style of Jean Michel Basquiat and Mark Rothko! We can’t wait to show these off during our art galley event after the half term!

Computing

We have enjoyed outer computing lesson. We’ve had a focus on 3D modelling and used the app Tinkercad to create 3D designs!

In Class 9 we have continued to work hard on our spellings this half term. We are so proud of how our pupils have been working so hard to improve their spellings and their scores on Spelling Shed. Keep logging onto Spelling Shed and let's all continue to improve our spelling skills.

Red Nose Day!

During this half term, we fundraised for Red Nose Day! We gave out postcards to those children that made us smile! Thank you to everyone for donating.

World Book Day!

In Class 9 we celebrated our love of books for World Book Day! We completed LIRA activities based on World Book Day. We also shared why we had dressed up the way we did.

We had an amazing experience with Sean Gaffeney when we took part in the sponsored exercises! Thank you to everyone that took part and raised donations!

We took part in activities for Children’s Mental Health Week, where the theme was connections! We created paper chains based on our connections with others!

Next term's learning:

Well done for an amazing term Class 9! Keep safe and have a brilliant half term!
