Our new topic in English is Stories from another culture. This week we look at an example story and started to identify the features of storied from different cultures. I wall impressed with 4B's knowledge of story features and understanding of what makes a good story. We then moves on to planning our own version of the story which we will be writing next week. 4B worked hard to add extra detail to their plans, such as descriptive phrases, to help them when they come to write. I look forward to seeing their final pieces next week.
Topic
We have started our final project in topic. Our task is to design our own Mars Rover. Our Rover must have its own mission to complete and most be suitable for Mars. To start our project the children researched Mars to find out what sort of features the Rover would need to have. After that 4B produced a detailed design of their own rover. Each design had to be thoroughly labelled, with each part having its own function and material clearly explained. Next week we will build our Rovers and we would like to invite parents to come and lend a hand in the construction stage. Prototype building will take place on Tuesday morning from 8am until 9am. Please let me know if you would like to come along and join us to lend a hand. |
