This week class B7 have explored their creativity. They had a āDinosarumpusā where they chose instruments to represent the sound of the dinosaurs and came together to make a lovely sound!
They wrote dinosaur poems using describing words and made a dinosaur scene where they created a movie using āimotionā on the ipad.
They also saw some real reptiles when Animal Antics visited with the animals.
Purple Class had a fantastic week last week. We studied the book, ‘Tom and the Dinosaur Egg’, and discussed how we would protect an egg if we had our own. We set sail on miniature rafts, testing materials that would float or sink, and found out whether our predictions were correct. We made some delicious dinosaur islands, made out of brownies and some realistic islands made out of Modroc.
The children are having a roarsome time learning about dinosaurs, we are looking forward to seeing what is in store next week!
This week pink class have learned about different types of environments. We investigated lots of sensory trays, exploring the different textures with dinosaur swamps, forests, beaches and volcanoes.
We also had a week long project making a volcano using Modroc. Building the base with newspapers, practicing tearing, scrunching and sticking, then wetting and adding the plaster strips and finally painting. We’ll be using our volcano for an outdoor eruption on Friday morning!
This week in 10B, we continued on with our exciting Jurassic World topic. We investigated the eating habitsĀ of dinosaurs further, learning about herbivores and carnivores. We even made our very own dinosaur poo! Inspect closely to see if you can tell the dinosaur’s diet! We also each chose our own dinosaur to research. We are currently buildingĀ a dinosaur fact file for our chosen dinosaur.
This week B9 have been discussing the importance of a student council and having the pupilās involvement in important school decisions.
We asked the children who wanted to be a class representative. Those interested gave a pitch to the class about why they would be best suited for the role.
The whole class then voted anonymously until the representative was elected.
We are looking forward to starting our journey with our pupilās voice.
Class 11B have explored a range of different poems and written their own poem about an imaginary pet dinosaur. Children have used dictionaries to check spellings and alternative adjectives to describe their pet dinosaurs. Children of 11B have worked with a range of mixed media to create a film set which they then used to film their very own mini Jurassic movie. Children have explored weight, height and recorded data to produce bar charts.
You may know that The Dales School acquired a train which we are currently refurbishing to be used a a learning space. This blog will provide updates as we go through the project.
