PE - Dance

We were pretending to be toy soldiers this week in dance. We thought about how we could make our bodies move like a wind up toy soldier. The children didn’t bend their knees or extend their arms and tried hard to stay quite rigid as they moved. We created a dance in sections of 8 beats.

Phonics

In phonics we have been revisiting our phase 5 sounds and applying our phonics knowledge to writing sentences by dictation. The children have also started to practise reading alien words (word that are not real) to test their phonics knowledge.

Art - making in prints of fossils on tablets of clay

The Turtle class loved using clay in art this week. They first turned their ball of clay into a tablet of clay and then used different utensils to draw an imprint of an ammonite fossil. They all worked hard on this challenging task and their clay is currently drying!
