Tuesday mornings are a very popular time in our classroom, as it’s when we have our time slot to use the chromebooks! We use the chromebooks to do many different activities, some of which this month have been researching arguments for our debates, or having a fierce competition on kahoot to revise topics and things we’ve done so far this year!
In PE, we had so much fun honing athletics skills, and getting to practise new ones! Everyone tried loads of different activities, including long jumps, javelin throwing, as well as many others. One of the most entertaining activities was definitely relay racing, as the competition was very intense and very funny when students made up “weird” relays for the class to compete in. These included army crawls, crab walking and “grandpa walking”. In art, the season of winter was a big inspiration for all of our artwork this past December, and we undertook many different winter themed art projects. We used paint to create lovely winter sky silhouettes, which was a great opportunity to practise paint mixing and blending skills. We also used chalk to create fabulous pictures of the Northern Lights, before making unique snowflakes out of paper. We used all of these pieces to turn our corridor into a winter wonderland! Earlier in the month we also created these fab landscapes inspired by the work of Xavier Castellanos, where the focus was on using bright, bold colours and strong shapes and outlines. A big focus in our class recently has been on building and using our debating skills. We have been exploring different topics to build arguments for and against the motions, working as a team to research and build arguments. Pods then compete against each other to try and sway the rest of the class, who are acting as our judges - scoring each group anonymously. It can be tricky and takes a lot of courage, but we have been having a great time with it!
