Over the last few weeks we’ve been very busy in Long Mynd!

We’ve been busy looking at different glasses cases, their construction and the materials used to make them. We have also decided on what properties our materials would need for our own glasses cases and created templates.  We have created freeze frames of our class text, Zeraffa Gerffa and then written labels for them.

In PE we have been working on our sprint training ready for Sports Day.

We have also had a fantastic trip to our local art gallery in Oswestry where we spoke to the curator and an artist in residence. We had an amazing time and the children asked some veyr insightful questions. We also sketched anything that inspired us and completed an art hunt around the entire gallery!

Over the last few weeks we have been finalising a lot of our work in Long Mynd.

In Computing we have programmed and debugged our own working piano keys that we can play using the Chromebook keyboards. The children were able to change the colours, sounds and motions of their Sprites to reflect the different keys played.

We have been building upto a derby with a partner in our tennis lessons and the children have been really improving their forehand and backhands with the rackets.

In French we played a French game where we could practise asking for things politely and then wrote our own french sentences. The children were fantastic!

In Art we have been inspired by the work of artists like Inbal Leitner in bringing Roald Dahl characters from 2D forms to 3D using clay. The children had a brilliant time!

In Long Mynd we have been learning to play tennis, practising volleying the ball with our racket and rallying with a partner.

In Geography, we have been using   to find out about which countries are in each continent and researched facts about each continent on the Chromebooks.

In RE we are continuing to learn about the Pentecost and have studied art inspired by the gospel.  

We’ve had a great first week back in Longmynd!

We have begun programming on Scratch in Computing where we moved and edited our Sprites and learnt how to add and delete simple coding. 

We started our tennis lessons and showed off our racket skills!

In Science we studied different rocks and described their appearance and properties.

In PSHE we are learning about keeping our teeth healthy and we considered what damages our teeth and classified foods on whether they were high sugar or low sugar.

We have had another excellent week in Long Mynd!

We have been exploring narratives in dance, focusing on how pollution attacks nature and the Earth.

We had some help from our new Play Leaders in Netball who helped us to practise our chest passing and pivoting.

In Computing we finished our characters and practised creating a stop motion film with them. The children produced some brilliant footage and we talked about how we could improve the films by taking more pictures and moving our characters a bit each time.

In Science we learnt that Magnetism works at a distance and tested the strengths of different magnets using paperclips. One magnet picked up 90 paperclips!

We had an incredible time on our trip to the Shrewsbury Sports Village where we got to try out lots of different sports and activities from archery to bowles.
