Term 6, Week 5! 04.07.25
We have been working hard learning samba rhythms to perform in By Brook's Music Concert next week as a class. The children have loved exploring rhythms and using different percussion instruments.
In English, we finished and edited our poems about the ocean and pollution in the ocean. The children then wrote them up in the neatest handwriting and created artwork to go with them.
We have been focusing on arithmetic in maths this week and putting all our learning through the year together.
In computing, we continued exploring ScratchJr. We had to use a given design to make the sprite have a speech bubble when tapped and then make the background change. The children loved getting to use other command blocks on ScratchJr and making their sprite do different things.
We then used our new knowledge of using a tap function, backgrounds and speech bubble to start creating a quiz on ScratchJr. We had the question 'Who lives here?' and tapped the different sprites which would make a speech bubble appear with yes or no. We used the background feature to help know who lives here too.
