Class+4

 Class 4 Autumn Term 2011 This term our topic is ‘What’s in the toy box?’ We started the topic by making a mind map using 2 Connect and thought of all the things we would like to do and learn. Throughout this term we have completed many creative activities in the indoor and outdoor classroom. We brought our favourite toy to school to present to our friends, describe in writing and draw. We also drew them using 2paint a picture. We discussed our favourite toys and created bar charts and pictograms using 2graph and 2count. We have discussed old and talked about the different types of materials the toys are made from and discussed their properties. We pretended to be detectives and investigated the signs of Autumn in the outdoor classroom. We photographed and filmed all the signs and used these to help us write poems. We learned about Harvest and we enjoyed looking at different fruits and vegetables using an Easi-scope 2. During ‘Anti-bullying week’, small groups performed scenarios and freeze frames, which we recorded with the Flip Cam. We talked a lot about feelings and looking after each other. The children have developed their word processing skills by using Microsoft Word to write messages and make labels.
