Room 10 are quickly becoming little artists.  

Today they sketched the landscapes from the beaches of Eastbourne, taking a close interest in the lines they saw that the hills made.  They then planned which areas would be lighter or darker and which hills they wanted to be bright and stand out.  Once back in the classroom, the little chiddlers transferred their lovely line onto equally lovely card and used different  painting techniques to create different colours and effects on their artworks.  

Here they are.

Top-Hat Making for the Production

Pyramid Maths

When the Cat's away, the Mice will play.

While the Year 4s were away, the Year 3s had a play.   The kids in Room 10 for maths made a pyramid and learnt more about ARRAYS and MULTIPLICATION.  

We started with a 9 X 9 base, then added an 8 X 8 layer, followed by 7 X 7, until finally we placed a single block on top. 

We talked about squaring numbers and tried to remember some of them.

Mummification Information Report Writing.

Room 10 are researching all sorts of stuff about Ancient Egypt.  

These talented young kids researched, took notes and wrote superbly detailed information reports to explain HOW MUMMIES ARE MADE.  They wrote them with paragraphs that linked to each other, rich topic words, detail to support the reader, variety of sentence starters and a plethora of punctuation.  

They recored their information reports for you to enjoy and be amazed. 

Mummification...continued.
