We love playing drama games

In this drama game called birthday we have a party host and party guests. The guests are given a role to act in and the host has to guess what they are. Today for example Grace was a clock, Ella was a hip hop dancer, Josh was a ballerina and Maya was a servant. The guests need to interact with the host, the audience and the other guests to give the host clues. It's lots of fun and helps us with our oral language skills and remembering to stay in character.

Here are some children doing there maths run by children and Mrs Dow

 

Happy PJ day! Thanks to the wonderful teachers and learners in our math session today. We had 6 sessions to choose from and could book into two. The options were: learning strategies to remember your timestables, compensation with multiplication, place value with multiplication, basic multiplication algorithms, hard multiplication algorithms and dividing large numbers. Have a chat to your children about what sessions they booked into.

The wonderful photos were taken by the wonderful Josh who was the photographer of the day today :)

Meaningful learning

It is always great when the children can find meaningful uses for the learning in class. Yesterday we had two examples. Ella, Tessa and Amrit wrote an informative persuasive letter to Mrs Wilson about their care bear scheme, more info to come soon and Mira used her measurement and area skills to figure out how much grass seed she needs to improve the chicken coop. Well done guys!
