In ICT this term we learnt how to make Powerpoints. We used this to create our own Powerpoints in pairs, to show information about the Olympics. We created pictures in Colour Magic, we then imported them to Powerpoint and added captions. Finally we added animations and even some sound effects!

Our Film Premiere
During our literacy lessons this term we have been learning about Greek Myths. We finished the unit by making our own films to retell different Greek Myths. Finally, on Friday, we held a red carpet premiere to showcase our films to a special audience!
We started the day by rehearsing our speeches. We then made ourselves some VIP badges, and reserved signs for our seats. Then we made posters to advertise our films. After lunch we had one final rehearsal, then we got changed into our glamourous outfits for the premiere-we all looked fabulous!
At the premiere we all walked "the red carpet", and did some spectacular poses at the end! We then took it in turns to present our films to the audience. They were all very impressed. After the hard work was over we had some popcorn then finished the afternoon with a photo shoot (including a very reluctant Mrs Davies) and a quick dance performance!
It was a fabulous day, and will hopefully leave us with some great memories. Thanks to the children for all their hard work, and to anyone who was part of our special audience! Here are the completed films, so they can be watched again at home, as well as some photos from the event.

Theseus and the Minotaur
As part of our topic on The Olympics, in literacy we are looking at some of the Ancient Greek myths.
Last week we read the story of Theseus and the Minotaur. We completed lots of activities to help us get to know the story, before writing it ourselves on Friday. One of the activities was interviewing some of the main characters from the story. As you can see, we thought of lots of challenging questions, luckily the characters were very good at answering them!

Olympic Torch Relay
Our topic after half term will be The Olympics.
In order to start getting us in the Olympic Spirit we have been regularly checking in on the Olympic Torch Relay. We have found that once you start watching, it is very difficult to stop again! Here is the link to the live camera, so you can watch it at home too...
