Bubble 6 School Learning

Date: 24th Jun 2020 @ 3:36pm

Another busy week in Bubble 6, continuing from our experiment last week we decided to test which material was the most waterproof, using paper, card, tissue paper, ribbon, felt and cellophane. Some materials were much better than others, tissue paper got wet very quickly. We decided the clear winner was ribbon after a lot of testing.

As part of our PE session we have been looking at using directional language, the children had to have a socially distanced game of blind mans buff guiding each other to different spots. They did fantastic. 
 

Along with all this we did a lesson on how important it was to listen to instructions, the children listened to my instructions once and had to follow them drawing different things on their sheet. After we talked about how important it is to listen to instructions the children completed a second sheet much more successfully, well done Bubble 6.

It has been another wonderful week in Puffin Class. We are so proud of the home learning we can see and also the working being produced in school. We have decided to choose Willow who has been an excellent role model to the children who started back this week. She is focus, determined and hard working.

Hello Puffins,

Well done for another great week, here are some highlights below.

This is some wonderful writing from Super Jack. I think writing is one of your super powers. I have spotted finger spaces, full stops, capital letters and some great adjectives.

Casey has been busy with her online phonics and has involved her whole family in making a Super Family. Well done everyone!

 

Another super effort above. As you can see, there are some brilliant adjectives alongside a wonderful picture. Fabulous work!

It has been a really difficult choice again this week, as we have seen so much incredible home learning and such amazing attitudes and effort in school. Henri has shone out as someone who has given 100% to everything he has been challenged with this week. He has applied himself, listened to new rules and routines and been an incredible friend to the whole class. We love this attitude Henri, you have brought sunshine into our Bubble this week!

Mrs Jackson has found a wonderful writing competition for you to complete for this week's writing task. It sounds fantastic! We thought this would be ia great opportunity for you to write about something you have a lot of knowledge about. The competition is asking for pieces of written work relating to any British Wildlife. Now here is the fun part, you can present your writing by constructing a story, a poem, a fact file, a diary entry - it is completely up to you. The link below will send you to the page you need to read, regarding a little more information and more importantly how to enter.

https://www.henharrierday.uk/young-writer

When completed, please take a picture of your writing and add it to your blog.

Now it is not a writing task without a success criteria to help you along, there are things we would still like you to include even though the way you present is not set:

Success Criteria – Writing Competition

 

I have written my piece about British Wildlife

 

I have used my own ideas and it is all my own work

 

I have shown an understanding of my chosen subject

 

I have used scientific terms e.g habitat, diet etc

 

I have written in full sentences

 

I have used capital letters and full stops

 

I have included adjectives

 

I have included conjunctions

 

My writing makes sense to the reader

 

 

Have a wonderful day everyone!
