This half term’s topic is based around the story of Claude in the City. Today we built Lego cities and re-enacted Claude’s first steps into the big city. We thought about what Claude would be thinking and feeling and performed this as a monologue.
Today we named plants and went outside to identify them. We spotted daffodils, roses, daisies and ivy.
Over the past three weeks we have been working on a space picture in our art lessons.
We started off by painting a rocket, we then collaged planets using coloured tisssue paper and splatted white paint for the stars. We finished it off with some gold and silver glitter. They looked fabulous!!
Here are a few examples… 
Our current piece of writing is a fact file all about owls. So what better way to learn about this nocturnal creature than to do a spot of role play!
Panda class learnt some facts about different species of owls before designing their own owl masks. They then took in turns to play the owl and answer questions from their curious classmates.
Our new text is Man on the Moon which links brilliantly to our topic of space!
Today we used drama to help us understand and remember our new story.
Next week we will learn the skills needed to write a diary entry from the point of view of the main character, Bob.
This week in writing we have been learning all about factfiles and how to write them. Next week we begin writing a factfile all about letters and what happens to them after they are posted through the postbox.
Here are som pictures of Panda class using drama freeze frames to show different stages of a letter’s journey to your doormat!
