Class 8 Blog
We are really looking forward to the England Match on Sunday, some of us decided to come in our England Kit and paint our faces with the England flag.
Class 8 took part in Race for Life this morning. We raised £19.00 as a class and we thoroughly enjoyed running and walking around and racing each other too! We also enjoyed cooling off in the afternoon with having a fun time on the water slide.
We have been looking at the artist Magdalene Odundo and decided to draw our own designs using chalk on our playground. We really enjoyed it!
As part of celebrating Ramadan and EID within school each class as part of doing something for charity raised money to adopt an endangered animal. Class 8 chose to adopt a Jaguar and bought cakes and watched a film to raise money. We raised £36 pound as a class for our animal. We also did a huge Jaguar and created our own Mehdi designs.
We have been looking at the key features of writing instructions and using it with our Egyptian Topic.
We followed instructions on how to Mummify a tomato. We worked in small groups and did one tomato through the mummification process and one without it. We really enjoyed doing this and we can't wait to see what happens.
We have been learning about the true story of Easter. We had a great discussion in class about whether it was right what some of Jesus' disciples did by betraying him. We then made some tissue paper collage crosses, to represent Easter in the classroom.
Today Class 8 have been creating little boxes out of Mathematical nets. This was so they could create little Mothers Day boxes with a little treat inside.
From all at Class 8. We wish you a Merry Christmas! Performed using Makaton.
