This week we have been making shakers and writing instructions to help everyone make them too.
We used different fillings and different sized bottles to see how this altered the sound. We had a very noisy but full of learning through ‘play’ Monday afternoon! On Friday afternoon we watched Mrs Chapman make the rain maker-following instructions from Thomas’ Book from home. We then decorated our own shakers. Next week we are making string instruments… or at least instruments you can pluck😀🎸.
Here are some of our instructions if you want a go at home-
On Thursday it was World Poetry Day and we performed our poems to very important judges. We all did very well and lots and lots of house points were justly awarded.
Our winner was Xander, Daisy was second and Barnaby came third. We also had several highly commended: Arthur, Orla and Rueben.
After this Mrs Needham and Mrs Bethel were very brave and explained capacity to us…
In the afternoon we went to the words where we listened to The Gruffalo and then made shelters for each of the animals in the story. Can you guess which shelter was for which animal?
Each group made their own shelters and we are going to look at these on the Smartboard next Monday afternoon.
During KS1 School Meeting Sycamore Class received lots of golden certificates for full lines on our success cards- keep up the good work! Xander also performed his poem, Now I am Six. 😃
