We began our new Music topic by learning all about Samba music. We found out that it is predominately heard in South America particularly Brazil and is played at big carnivals such as the one in Rio de Janeiro. We learnt about the four different instruments we will be using: ganzas, surdo drums, tambourims and agogo bells as well as the family of instruments they come from (percussion.) In Science, we worked with Miss Chadwick and looked at the different types of teeth and even had a chance to practice brushing teeth on a giant set. As you can see from the pictures, we had lots of fun doing this.
I have really enjoyed getting to know everyone and getting ourselves back into our daily routines.
The children have been working incredibly hard in many different subject areas. In our English sessions, we have been learning ‘The Book’ by Michael Rosen. I have been blown away by the children’s enthusiasm and ability to learn the poem so quickly.
We also did an art project called ‘all about myself’ -in which we learnt lots about our classmates and ourselves. As part of the project, we created some amazing self portraits.
P.E. will take place on Thursdays so the children will be able to come into school wearing their P.E. kits.
