Today in French we learned the names for different colours.
Can you remember what these French words mean?
We then reminded ourselves of our French numbers and completed a Colour by Numbers in French.

Chinese New Year Art
To follow on from our morning lesson about Chinese New Year, we enjoyed spending our Art lesson making Chinese things. We had some excellent dragons, lanterns, blossom pictures and fans and are sure they will look great when we change our classroom displays.
Chinese New Year
At lunch time today we had a Chinese themed dinner to celebrate Chinese New Year. In RE we thought about the story behind this and learned about how each of the Chinese Years got named.
We worked very hard to write about the story. Then we asked some of the staff for their Chinese Zodiac signs.
Book Fair Browsing
We had a lovely time yesterday afternoon browsing the books for sale at the Book Fair. We all saw lots of lovely things that we would like to buy.
The Book Fair is open after school every night until Tuesday.

Developing our arguments
In Literacy today we thought about the good and bad things in Druids Heath that we saw yesterday. We worked very hard to put our arguments into extended sentences and explain our reasons carefully. Here are some of our excellent sentences:
Parallel and Perpendicular lines
This morning in Maths we learned about different sorts of lines. We went outside onto the playground and looked for different lines. Here’s what we found:

Forest Schools Group 2 session 1
Group Two really enjoyed their first Forest School session today. They were very good at learning their compass directions and Leo even taught us two rhymes to help us remember them:
“Never Eat Shredded Wheat”
“Naughty Elephants Squirt Water”
We made our compasses point to North and followed the arrow. Then we practised finding different directions.
Local Area Walk
This morning we went on our walk around Druids Heath. Our task was to find examples of good things and bad things about the area so that we can put together a persuasive letter for Mrs Knipe. We worked in groups and used ipads to take photos of some of the things we saw. For each photo we took we had to be able to describe why it was good or bad for Mrs Knipe.
When we got back to school we worked in our groups and sorted out our photos. We came up with our top five arguments for and against living in Druids Heath.
Here are some of the photos that Hazel, Joshua T, Elizabeth and Leo took showing some good and bad things about living in Druids Heath.
Persuasive Letters
In Literacy today we learned of Mrs Knipe’s dilemma.
Mrs Knipe really needs our help in deciding whether or not to move to Druids Heath. She wants us to write her a persuasive letter next week to tell her our opinions. We read an example of a persuasive letter and thought about some of the techniques used. This is what we found:
Tomorrow we are looking forward to going for a walk around Druids Heath to take some photographs for Mrs Knipe to help with our arguments.
