Term 1 in Woodpecker Class
In English, we have been working on a poem called The Monster Alphabet by Pie Corbett. We made our own actions to each rhyming couplet and performed the poem as a class on the playground.
In Maths, we have enjoyed tackling, Which Scripts? A challenging problem solving activity, in which we had to think logically and use our place value skills. Good perseverance was shown by all!
In Outdoor Learning, with Mrs Diserens, we used clay and other natural materials to make snails and hedgehogs!
We are reading…
Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo.
I heard the wind above me in the sails. I remember thinking this is silly, you haven’t got your safety harness on, you haven’t got your lifejacket on. You shouldn’t be doing this… I was in the cold of the sea before I could even open my mouth to scream. Washed up on an island in the Pacific, Michael struggles to survive on his own. With no food and no water, he curls up to die.
When he awakes, there is a plate beside him of fish, of fruit, and a bowl of fresh water. He is not alone…
Our artist of the term is…
Yayoi Kusama – a Japanese contemporary artist who works primarily in sculpture and installation, and is also active in painting, performance, video art, fashion, poetry, fiction, and other arts.
