We Could Be Heroes!

Our new topic SUPERHEROES started today, we were all given our new identities and discovered our super powers. Check out our awesome film on GPS1.

We created a class Pobblet thinking about the question ‘What is a superhero?’

Toys from the Past – Let’s Travel Back in Time!

phpThumb_generated_thumbnailjpg

This week’s Blogging Homework – linked to our history focus I want you to interview someone in your family about the toys they use to play with. The further back in time you travel the better so you can compare the toys you play with these days in contrast to those in the past. As the interviewer ask the following questions and blog your answers here!

Question 1: What sort of toys did you play with?

Question 2: What was your favourite toy and why did you like it?

Question 3: What material was your favourite toy made of?

Question 4: What do you prefer about the toys you played with compared to the toys we have today?

Winter Wonderland

How many synonyms can you think of to describe the snowflake? Remember the challenge – list either 1,2 or 3 synonyms, you can’t repeat a word that has already been used but you can think of an alternative that means the same thing. Good Luck! Mrs C

Nocturnal Animals

Over the next few weeks we are going to be exploring Nocturnal Animals and make fact books about them.

Study this picture, which Nocturnal Animals do you notice?

Can you spot the Nocturnal Animals?

In our teams we used the Popplet app to create our mind maps of our Nocturnal Animals these are going to become pages in our fact books we are making next week.

Man on the Moon

Watch the popular John Lewis advert, look at the following questions, discuss them with friends and family can you answer them? Leave a comment on our blog about the advert.

  • In the first 5 seconds, how does the girl feel? How do you know? How old do you think is she?
  • How does she feel when she sees the man on the moon? Why does she wave?
  • How old do you think the man might he be?
  • Do you think the man is lonely? What makes you think this?
  • Why do you think the girl writes to the old man rather than Father Christmas (which all the other children will be doing at this time of year)? What does this tell us about the girl’s character?
  • From which room in the house does she try and send the letter? Why?
  • What type of Christmas does the girl have? How is it different to the old man? Is this similar to your Christmas?
  • How does the old man feel? Why does he cry? Is crying always a sad thing?
