Royal Wedding Displays

 

 

The accumulation of class VB’s ‘Spreading Smiles’ topic was celebrated through the creation of a stunning wall banner which will be displayed on the classroom wall of the Tileagd School in Romania. The children of Tileagd cannot wait to receive the banner when Miss Proctor and Miss Boyd travel out there in the May half term. Each child designed and created a part of the banner which was based on a feature of either Ramsden or Tileagd.

To ‘hook’ the children into our new topic,  ‘What have the Romans done for us?’ we did an excavation of the playground to find coins.

Marc Chagall

We spilt Marc Chagall’s famous ‘Paris Through a

Window’ painting into 9 equal sections and split the

class into groups of three. Each group had to emulate their section of the painting using either paint, collage, pastel or coloured pencils.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

Science Investigation

 

 

   

 

 

When Mrs King from Mayflower came, Class RP had to investigate ‘How to keep the teacher’s tea hot.’ We looked at different materials to insulate a beaker of hot water and recorded the temperature over 15 minutes. We then displayed our results using Microsoft Excel. 

 

 

 

 

2D Shapes

 

  

We have been learning about 2D shapes.

We made different 2D shapes on the

playground using our bodies.

We then worked out how many

vertices and edges each shape has.
