A week of Stickman and stories...

Hello,

Another lovely week in Oak class. 

This week Oak class have been fantastic and lots of other teachers have said how sensible and kind Oak class are.

All week in Oak we have been looking at the story of 'Stickman'. We ordered the story, created story plans, acted the story out and then wrote a recount of the story. We did our best handwriting and tried to remember all the parts of the story. 

We have also been doing some computing. In computing we have learnt a new technical word; algorithm. We know that this word means 'a set of instructions'. We turned into beebots and instructed our friends around an obstacle course with the instructions; forwards, backwards, turn left or turn right. We thought this was really fun!

In Dance today we read the story 'Giraffes can't dance' we then did a strictly come dancing warm up and moved around the hall like giraffes. We thought about our movements and how we would feel as a giraffe.

Oak class have been solving lots of Maths problems this week. We have been given some number problems and had to find out what the missing number was. We have been using number lines to help us.

On Thursday at snack time, we found something rather strange...words written on our bananas! We read the words before eating our bananas, some words were real words and some were nonsense words. 

We have all been artists and using a mirror, we drew our self portraits just using pencils. They were brilliant! 

Today we had a go at using some story stones. They have lots of different pictures on and give us ideas to write about. We came up with some wonderfully imaginative stories, some of us challenging ourselves to write more than one page, some of us really working on our presentation, all of us writing amazing stories. 

Today's star award goes to Dilhan for being so sensible and managing problems well. Well done Dilhan.
Plop, our learning owl, would love to spend the weekend with James who did some fantastic writing, challenging himself, persevering and being independent. Well done James!
