Our Learning this Week

Immersion Week

We have had a lovely week immersing ourselves in our new topic "Our Wonderful World". We began our week with Computing, where we learnt about photography. The children learnt about portrait and landscape photographs and when to use each orientation. Then we went and took some of our own photographs, focusing on signs of nature. When we came back into the classroom, we learnt about what makes a good and bad photograph. The children were very excited to be able to edit their photographs. We learnt how to use an online editing software to change the colours of our photographs. Check the class gallery to see our finished edits! 

We have also completed a music unit where the children became composers and conductors! We began by learning about a composer called Kerry Andrew who wrote a piece of music inspired by the sounds she could hear in her environment. We went on a walk around the school to listen for different sounds we could hear. Then we came up with actions to match the sounds we heard. The children learnt to be conductors, and took turns conducting their groups and the whole class. We then composed our own song to the tune of the Wheels on the Bus inspired by the sounds we could hear around school. 

Our school is where we learn and play, learn and play, learn and play.

Our school is where we learn and play, all day long.
