Local Walk

Last week in topic work we looked at different types of homes and buildings. To use what we had learnt, we went out in groups to have a look around Albert Village and see how many different types we could find!

It was very interesting, and we had a lovely time...



Leave a comment about different homes and buildings you have seen.

London Day

On Monday we had a lovely time at our London Day. We completed lots of exciting activities, including;

• Building the London Eye out of hula hoops and newspaper.
• Making model Beefeaters and Grenadier Guards
• Creating London Symbols from coloured paper
• Creating Buckingham Palace, complete with the Royal Family peering through the windows!
• Building Models of Big Ben 
• Painting London buses and taxis.
• Creating our own London Photo Album on the laptops (see last blog post!)

Here are some photos of our day!

London Video Guides

On Friday afternoon we decided to make video guides to London using Microsoft Photostory.

First we searched for images of London on Google, and saved them. Next we imported our favourite images to Photostory, we sequenced them and added some captions. Finally, some groups recorded their own narration to explain the sights of the city!

Facts about London

Today has been a busy day on our Twitter account. We have been learning all about London, so we set ourselves a mission to share as many facts as possible in a day! We did pretty well!

Here is a link to show you all the facts we managed to tweet. It is even more impressive as we managed to do this as well as all our normal classroom activities!

Maps-Symbols and Keys

Part of our topic this term is geography-maps and plans. 

Today we played a game to learn about symbols and keys on maps. Then we used what we had learnt to create our own maps of the island from "Where the Wild Things Are"

Here is the link to the game we played, so you can have another go at home...

Map tools: Adventure Island

Please leave a comment about what you have learned, or tell us how quickly you completed the challenge in the game!

P.S. Earlier in the week we also made some special rotating maps to show Max's journey in the story. Here are some photos of them!
