Wow! What an amazing start to Arts' week. We kicked off this extra special week with a fantastic assembly given by two members of the cast from the West End production of The Lion King. Shannon and Kuan led an action-packed workshop where we danced, sang and performed part of a song from the production. It was incredible fun and such a treat to see the performers.
This week we will be taking part in creative arts activities based on The Lion King. As part of this we will be doing dance instead of the usual PE sessions. Please could children wear their PE kit on Tuesday and Thursday.
We look forward to sharing the different workshops with you!
We have had a student teacher, Mr Jones, occasionally supporting in our class throughout the year. As part of his studies he is conducting some research into play. He did part of this research with the children on Friday where they drew a picture to show how they play in school and answered some questions about play in a questionnaire.
Please see the letter below from Mr Budge regarding the current crisis in Ukraine and ways in which our community may be able to help.
Today in Topic, we learned about Nelson Mandela and his extraordinary contribution to ending racial discrimination in South Africa. Inspired by his message of equality for everyone, regardless of race, we created our own slogans to promote equality and diversity.
In Maths we have been sorting 2d shapes and making patterns with 2d shapes.
This week in our Significant People topic, we learned about Henri Matisse and then made some art inspired by his cut-outs.
Last week the children had a fantastic time on World Book Day. The costumes were incredible, so thank you parents and carers for once again going all-out to make the day really special.
We enjoyed a great World Book Day assembly. lots of book talk, taking part in a special live lesson hosted on CBBC, illustrator workshops and of course, lots of reading!
Team Holloway joined Team Dannell for some partner reading where the older children read to the younger ones (and vice versa in some cases), which was a lovely way to share the joy of reading. The children are such enthusiastic readers and loved talking about favourite characters and stories.
A brilliant day!
This week we are looking at symmetry. We have been finding vertical lines of symmetry on 2d shapes by folding the shapes and by using mirrors.
As part of our personal development week, our RE topic was all about Judaism and discovering the Torah. One of the things we learned was that the Torah instructs Jewish people to help other and donate to charity.
What challenges will you complete?
Today we've been making 2d and 3d shapes. Below are 2 links to great resources were you can make virtual 2d shapes:
