Mrs Murton's Class 2019-2020

As part of our Cultures Week, we have been finding out all about Native Americans.  The children were very busy writing fact pages.

We just love climbing trees in our wildlife area!!

Today, the children sketched Arctic animals and then critiqued their partner's work.  They then sketched again taking on board the advice given.  Amazing!

We are getting some terrific topic homework in for 'Frozen Kingdom'.  I love how ingenious some of the ideas are!

We got very muddy in the wildlife area this week, and fun was had by all!

We have been working on decimals, so I posed the question: "0.75 is the answer, what is the question?"  I was very impressed with the results.

Whittling wands, swing making and toasting marshmallows - what better way to spend your Friday Golden time?

The children created a soundtrack that captures the beauty of the Northern Lights. They considered which sounds would best paint the picture of the light’s luminescence and movement, layering sounds for effect.

The children had great fun this week creating beautiful pictures of the Northern Lights using chalk pastels.  Very messy but very effective!

The children did a great job of tidying up our wildlife areas today.  It is amazing how much litter blows in!

I wasn't even needed in class today!  Thank you Magda for your very interesting and informative presentation on Polar bears, great topic homework!

We are reading 'Ice Trap! Shackleton's greatest expedition'. We looked at this picture and produced some descriptive writing.  Well done William and Alex!
