Room 5 - Miss Sarah Ludbrook
 

We are half way through our school year already and our learning is starting to take flight in all areas which is very exciting.

This term, our main topic theme is, ‘It’s a Party,’ so we will be integrating this across the curriculum.  Our class will talk about what a party is, why people have them, and brainstorm all the types of parties we know of.

We are going to read the book, ‘The Twits’ (by Roald Dahl) and plan a ‘Twits’ party where we dress up for the day.  We will have a shared lunch and do some ‘twitty’ baking for this. The baking will involve some measurement for maths and we will read instructions.  We will write a character description of Mr and Mrs Twit.  Another fun activity will be to pretend we a character from ‘The Twits’ book and write a letter to another character in the story. 

This is a great term for the Arts.  We will learn a few simple folk dances this term when it’s wet and explore the use of untuned percussion through beat and rhythm. For drama we will explore the techniques of facial expression, gesture, body shape and voice and create some simple free frames based on stories we know and read.

Kelly Sports will be back, and we love having them most weeks for a session on ball skills.  We will also focus on ball skills this term.

Children in our class are getting good at logging on and off the computer and at simple mouse manipulation.  So this term we will learn to use the word programme and manipulate text size, shape, colour, style, etc. 

Check out this awesome website that we like to use in class and at the Digital Media Centre.  You may like to use it at home:www.terapaj.wikispaces.com

It’s going to be a very busy term and we hope we can fit all this fun in!!!!
