We are exploring multiplication skills in maths.
Here the squares group use arrays to display their thinking.
We are doing dance for art which includes mirroring, cannoning and shadowing.
Movements such as melting, shrinking, floating, stretching, exploding, slithering, swaying,
sinking, growing, leaning, falling, and many more.
We are learning about Tempo, Space, Energy, Levels, Timing,
Heavy and Light movements, Fast and Slow movements, Smooth and Sharp movements.
In science we have looked at magnetism.
We experimented with different materials to see if a magnet would still attract things through them.
We even turned objects such as nails into 'temporary magnets' by rubbing a magnet against them.
Bob Bickerton came in and entertained us all with a story set in the whaling days.
On Wednesday the 30th
of May Bob Bickerton came to our school. He performed music and told an
interesting story about a whaler who fell in love. He used a harp, a fiddle, a flute made out of
bone, some bagpipes and a spinning round piece of wood on a string that made a
sound like the wind. The story he told
was so sad in one bit that a few people in my class cried. There were also funny pieces and I thought it
was very clever how he used lots of instruments to help him tell the story. I
also liked how he got some people up and put them together to do a dance.
