Sports Day

On Monday (17/11/08) we had our school sports day. All the children in Room 11 took part in the events. Some of the children did very well, Molly came first in long jump and 80m sprints, Olly won the high jump and 800m, and Rachael won the ball throw. Room 11 came third in the class relay. It was a good day out, just a pity the weather wasn't nicer.

Bread

Our topic for the fourth term is Bread. We are going to design our own loaf of bread using the results of a class survey, we will also package and advertise the bread we make.
To start with we learned how to make a white loaf of bread so we could better understand how bread is made.

Room 11's Marble runs

In Term 3 we looked at forces. I gave the children the challenge of making marble runs, and the extra challenge of getting the marble to defy gravity. The class come up with inventive ways to do this. One was a loop de loop, others used pulley systems to bring the marble up. They were not allowed to touch the marble while it was in the marble run.

Art Exhibition

All term Room 11 has been working towards the art exhibition. We drew abstract portraits. First we studied abstract art by artists such as Picasso. Then we drew a chalk outline of the face. Our next step was to fill in the spaces using brightly coloured oil pastels. Finally we got black dye and carefully went over the chalk outlines. We are really proud of the work we did. Our collaborative project was also an abstract portrait but was done with paint instead. We used our fingers and brushes to paint it, and have put modelling clay to get the 3D effects.
