Edmodo

The group code is izr555
I will change it tomorrow in case other people not in our class read this.
Have another go if you have the time and Raquel...please remind me to take your certificate!

Author Presentations

I have decided that it is unfair for you to do presentations tomorrow as you haven't had a lot of tme to prepare. Instead, we will continue in our ICT time next week and do the presentations in our library time. That way you can prepare a Powerpoint (after getting my copy from www.edmodo.com and research from the websites I have added to our list.

What do you think?

Well done Raquel!

Well done to Raquel for being our star of the week!

Sorry Raquel but I was so excited that I stuck the certificate on the classroom wall and so I don't have it to scan and put on the blog. I promise that I'll put it on here on Monday night.

Have a lovely weekend 4C.

Some "Guess Who" help


I realised you might find the questions a little difficult so I have typed some up to help you.

Remember you SHOULD be using adjectives. For example,
Does he have a massive nose?

If you printed out the cards, print out the question sheet to keep with them.

I have also added a really good website from the British Council to help you with your English. There are some good stories and fun games. Enjoy!

GUESS WHO


4C,

Well done today for your excellent "Guess Who" cards - I can't wait to play it next week. If you would like to start playing at home, you will need to print and cut up two copies of the photo below.

Remember to ask a parent before you print!

See you tomorrow for netball first thing.

Miss Sam

p.s Remember your Celt objects are due in tomorrow unless you have spoken to me already.

Mosaics

Now that you have finished your ESCHER patterns and tessellations, we are going to begin work on MOSAICs. It you're not exactly sure what they are, click on the website I have added to our list on the right.

I think Gran Canaria and Spain in general has amazing examples of mosaics. If you see one, please take a photo and bring it into school for our display.

If you have been to Barcelona then I am sure that you have seen GAUDI's mosaics. Here is an example. Ask your parents if they have seen these mosaics.



Here is a very colourful mosaic that a class in Australia did together. What do you think? Let me know!



If you want to get some ideas for your own mosiac, look at this website. This is a company in my town of Brighton who make fantastic mosaics. This is an example of one of the mosaics.



Also, please tell me if you know someone who is a mosiac artist as they may be able to help us with our work.

Seeds

Thank you to someone's mum for sending me an e-mail with an image of your seeds. I have been unable to open it properly but will do it on Monday at school. I do not have your surnames with me at home but remind me on Monday so that I can print it out.

Thanks again!

Miss Sam

Thanks for all the comments!

Thank you to everyone who has left messages on here.

I'm glad that lots of you enjoyed the maths game on Wednesday and sorry if I confused you with the roundhouse work today. I will explain it better tomorrow.

I know that lots of you found making the roundhouse difficult but I was very impressed by the way you persevered.

See you tomorrow,

Miss Sam

First "proper" week over!

4C,

Well done for a great first "proper" week at school. I was very impressed that you got an extra 5 minutes on Thursday for achieving the whole flower and your class target of working quietly.

I hope that you will get lots more flowers next week and so lots more free patio time.

Thank you to Sofia, Irene and "anonymous" for their comments so far. Irene, I still expect you to read at home every day too to answer your question.

I will probably add some things on here over the weekend.

Keep watching your seeds to see if they GERMINATE and grow.

Enjoy your weekend!

Welcome back to work!!


4C,

Welcome back to school!

I hope you have had a lovely weekend. I did! I went cycling in Tejeda. Here is a photo of me on my bike!

This week we are going to start most of our topics for history, science and art.
We will begin our term's work for numeracy and literacy next week. This week in numeracy we will be revising addition, subtraction and division. In literacy we will be revise taking notes and past, present and future verbs.

I will add some websites this week to help you. In numeracy, many of you could revise POLYGONS AND 2D SHAPES from the work we did last week.

Before we begin our life cycle topic properly, it is probably a good idea to revise what a plant needs to grow so here is an activity you can do...



I have also added the website to our list to help you.


See you tomorrow!

Miss Sam
