We launched into our last half a term with enthusiasm and a hard working attitude today! We began by stepping into my tardis and becoming timelord detectives - we journeyed back over 200 years to meet Mary Anning who told us all about her life........an amazing lady. Having zoomed back to the classroom in our tardis, we discussed our mission - to produce information about Mary Anning, fossils and the Jurassic Coast for the Dorchester County Museum, as they need help improving their exhibition!!!!! How are we going to do it? What information do we need, how will we present it, what do we need to do? A very good website we discovered has been added to pupil links - humanities!!!! Feel free to explore it at home! Watch this space for updated progress...........
Music was very exciting today, we explored duration using instruments and composing short pieces combining rhythm and a range of duration - brilliant!
This afternoon we began learning about the Jurassic Coast, sedimentary rock and how fossils are formed.........we even created our own sedimentary rock in pastel!
You will gradually see an abundance of amazing, colourful cross curricular art work appear in the classroom over the next few weeks! Keep your eyes peeled!
We have lots of exciting things planned............I have had some super home learning in so far and can't wait to see the rest!
A reminder that our class assembly has moved to Friday 14th June, we look forward to seeing you then.
Well done to a fantastic first day back..................
Mrs. Johnson
