Year 4/5 children from Michelangelo and Ringgold class enjoyed an outdoor games session with a difference today. They played a game of Quidditch and, given that the children are all avid Harry Potter fans, it went down very well. The children rode on 'brooms' and worked in teams whilst attempting to chase the 'snitch' and score points by successfully hitting the snitch through the hoop. It was a fun and enjoyable session.
Our Sporting Lives
In our MFL lessons this half term, Ringgold class have been extending their knowledge of sports. They have watched short videos promoting the Olympic Games and produced posters showing which sports they like and dislike.
We've got Rhythm
The children joined Mr Smith from the Lancashire Music Service for a brilliant music lesson. They tried some singing, but were much more excited by the rhythm part of the lesson. They followed the beat and played along to some of their favourite songs.
A Sprinkling of Snow
As is usual for Fleetwood, the snow was quite short lived! However, the children took advantage of school being a little quieter during Tower Wood week to feel and touch the snow before it turned to slush!
Drawing using mixed media
To complement our learning in Topic, the children have started to sketch their own image of a planet in our solar system. Later on this week, they will try to show their skills using both oil pastels and water colour paints.
It came from Outer Space!
In French the children have been learning about using and positioning adjectives. They designed their own extra-terrestrial monster then added a simple description.
Joyeux Noël
The children in Ringgold class have been learning how Christmas is celebrated in France. They learnt about the Feast of St. Nicholas and how the children leave out their shoes for gifts on 6th December. They understand there are some similarities to our own celebrations, but also some traditions that are peculiar to the French. Today (17th December) they made triarama Christmas cards to take home to their families.
What's the weather like?
Following on from our French lessons about travel, Ringgold children have been learning phrases to describe the weather. They matched pictures with vocabulary phrases which they then used to describe a weather map of France.
Where in the World?
Below is a selection of French work from the children in Ringgold class. For this half term our focus has been methods of transport and learning about French speaking countries. Using simple writing frames they have written their own sentences which have included the verb 'aller' (to go).
