Our Launch and its question

On the 10th of January we launched our new topic Symud. We did lots of different things during this topic and we had a question to think about. Our question was 'How is movement useful to us in our everyday lives?'

What happened on our launch day?

On our launch day we did a padlet pupil power where we gave our ideas on what we wanted to do during our topic and anything we couldn't do we would do on a Friday if we had no work to do you could do some of them. Mrs Burgess used some of our ideas in her planning too.

We had an idea of walking a marathon, make a workout video and many more.

We also did just dance. So we would do some work and then we would have a brain break to do a just dance.

Pol Wong

On the day of our topic launch we had a special visitor that we were learning about in Welsh. His name was Pol Wong and he was a Gung Fu master. He gave us a master class in the school hall.

Our marathon challenge

For this challenge we did some research on how long a marathon was then was worked out what that was in meters and how many laps we would have to do to complete this challenge. We used excel to create a spreadsheet to keep track of our laps.

Expresive Arts

The first peice of art work was when we shaded in the inside of circles with diferent types of tone. We learned about shade and tone. Then we sketched wooden figures on plain paper. Then we drew one of our classmates showing movement.

We also drew ourself doing facial expresions. Then we did a series of drawing on one piece of paper showing movement. The next thing we did was printing shapes; we cut out arrows, painted one side of them and pushed them against the paper.

Stop motion

We did stop motion. We used play doh and cloud stop motion to make our videos.

We worked in groups of three and our group did three different stop motion videos.

Forces

We did an experement with a ruler and a ball of paper. We had four questions to answer after the experement.

We mainly focused on the force of gravity and air resistance but we did many more through out the topic. We found out who discovered gravity and what air resistance does for us.

We also did a forces workshop with explore and we got told about all sorts of different forces.

Our journey

Thank you for reading our adobe on symud. We both hope you enjoyed because we enjoyed making it.
