Class 8 have had a mind blowing Science/Topic lesson. We learnt about the magnetic force of the earth and how a compass works as part of our Forces and Magnets topic. We then went on to make our own compasses using a magnet and a paper clip. We used these on a map of the UK to describe where cities and towns are on the map. Such an exciting afternoon!

We have shown great comprehension skills using Serial Mash and shown our understanding of some tricky time telling.

What a fantastic attitude to learning. :)

Class 8 have been learning how to write a tourist information leaflet about the area of the Mayan Civilisation. We were amazed by their ability to create the layout independently and to use the style of language suitable for this. Take a look at the photograph to see just what super stars Class 8 are!![IMG_0162[1].JPG](/uploads/533/images/IMG_0162[1].JPG)

This week has been the start of our topic on the Ancient Maya Civilisation. Wow! What a lot of new learning we have taken in. Teachers and children learning together to find out some amazing facts about these people. We have used the IPads to research in Topic and Literacy as well as at home on Purple Mash. We have learnt about life in general, chocolate, sports and their amazing buildings. We ended the week making a special box to keep all our learning about the Maya in.

Class 8 have had a fantastic Out of This World Curriculum Week. We have thought about which planet we would like to live on and what our house could be like. We had some fantastic ideas and did some great designs. We then made our planet including biomes where we would live. We thought about all the aspects of life including entertainment. This led us to use Garage Band on the IPads to create our music. We have some talented musicians in class!.JPG)

This week we have been writing about the Disney short film, LAVA. This piece of writing blew us away. The child who has written it has made so much progress this year. He wrote...
The bright gold sun is in the distance behind a lonely volcano. He was happy amd then it went dark and the sun set. Then the morning came and his lava turned to stone and sunk into the deep blue water. But then, the other volcano was in the water and listening to his song. It was meant for her. She was ready to meet him. Then her lava grew and grew and there was a grey splash and Uka watched his dreams come true.

What a super Eid party we had today! The children returned to school after Eid with stories of their fantastic Eid celebrations. This morning we wrote songs for literacy and solved maths word problems about multiplicaiton and ended the morning with learning the months of the year in French. Then after dinner it was party time. We are sure the children will all sleep soundly tonight!

Class 8 had a great day on Friday making Power Point Presentations. They worked amazingly hard and their work looked like that of a much higher year group. I was so proud of them. They loved making the animations and transitions effects. Some are going to go home and carry on this learning on their laptops!

This week the children in Class 8 have taken part in a DT project to create Egyptian Collars. They used skills such as rolling magazine paper to make beads. They were so creative and the results showed their individual creativty. The children were extremely proud of their work.
In maths we have been learning to tell the time - this is usually a tricky subject for the children but we think we have cracked it. Well done Class 8. The week ended with Purple Mash time activities and the learning buzz in the classroom was palpable.
We have enjoyed a lot of class stories this week - we have made an effort to get more in. Our favourite this week was I want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen.

Class 8 had a super day today raising money for the Brain Tumour Charity. We were amazed with the effort that some children put in. We had Alice in Wonderland, Easter and Food themed hats. I'm sure you would agree that Zak's hat stole the show with his Healthy/Unhealthy hat. Which side would you choose?

Class 8 have been continuing their learning on hobbies in French. Today they were asking a partner 'Aimez vous...?' Their partner responded with a 'oui' or a 'non' and then went on the say 'mais je prefere...' Class 8 are getting so good at speaking, reading and writing in French.

This week Class 8 have been writing fact sheets about themselves in Literacy and in Maths we have been recapping the learning we did during lockdown.
Our best lesson this week was French. We were learning about hobbies and played a game of charades. A child came to the front and acted out a hobby and whether they liked it, loved it, disliked it or detested it. The others had to write the sentence on the board to describe it e.g. Je deteste jouer au football or J'aime nage. It was lots of fun and great skills reading and writing French.
