Class+5

=Class 5 – Autumn Term = In class 5 we have been leaning all about ‘Toys’. The children have completed many fun activities indoors and outdoors. They completed many activities using ICT, where they have created mind maps and bar graphs about our favourite toys. They have improved our word processing skills by using the return key, cursor key and caps lock key. Some of the children have also created PowerPoint presentations on Harvest. The children have created self-portraits on Granada colours and often use the Internet to play maths and literacy games. During anti-bullying week we talked about the importance of being kind to one another and speaking to an adult if the children are worries about something. We have talked a lot about feelings, and taking care of our toys and other possessions. In class 5 we have discussed old and new toys and how things have changed over time, the children created timelines to show these changes. We talked about the different types of materials the toys are made from and discussed their properties. During literacy we have completed ‘letters and sounds’ sessions daily. The children have completed pieces of work on descriptive writing, poetry and instructional writing, amongst other things. We have completed a wide range of activities in mathematical development, for both number and space shape and measure and have been practising 2,3,5,and 10 times tables. In Welsh we have discussed our likes and dislikes and built on prior learning by asking and answering questions with our talking partners. We have completed ‘Play to Learn’ sessions and practised traditional playground games in PE. In class 5 the children completed a drama scenario about bullying, we sing a variety of songs, and are practising for a Christmas play. The children have also completed observational drawings, and firework pictures using paint and marbles. They have made many models out of junk, and use the role play area on a daily basis.
