This year for Children in Need the these was Spotacular! The whole school were invited to wear non-uniform for the day - some children came wearing their spots! In Team DB, we had great fun finding the many spots that were hidden around the playground in unlikely places. The children also had great fun hiding the ones that they had found for the next class. In the afternoon, during our Incredible Us! session, the children decorated biscuits, coloured pictures and played games. Team DB had a fabulous day; take a look at our pictures below.

Literacy
In our writing, the children have been discovering more about the text for this half term, and we have been using this as a hook into our writing. The children have been looking in detail at the text The Viewer, by Gary Crew, and it has had the pupils in Team DB mesmerised. The children have been interested in finding out more information about Viewers and how they were once a keen children's toy. They have also become fascinated at the various pictures depicted on the reels, and how some are not as pleasant as originally thought! The aim of their creativity in writing, is to write their own story setting of how they find a viewer, including the design of their very own reel, picking our historical events during their own lifetime. The pupils have been using their expanded noun phrase knowledge, developing their ability to choose awesome adjectives to enhance their own writing. Moreover, the children were learning about similes and metaphors as well as the importance of the five senses when describing a setting for a story. Maths: In Team DB, the children have been developing their addition and subtraction skills when using four-digit numbers. They have been using exchanges between the place value columns, as well using their fabulous addition and subtraction skills to find missing numbers in a calculation. They have been working very hard this week! Today in Team DB, our amazing children have been very creative in selecting their wear a word for the day outfits. It has been interesting to see each others' costumes as well as deciding if we can work out the word before reading it. This has helped immensely in expanding our vocabulary as we have walked around school, reading each others' words as we went. A huge welcome back to Team DB this week; it has been wonderful to hear all about the children's adventures during the half term holidays, especially their Halloween celebrations. The children must have had a good rest, because they have all returned to school ready to learn.
Science: This week in Team DB, we have been looking in detail at the Water Cycle as part of our States of Matter topic. The children have watched videos, discussed with their partners, used the laptops to discover all about the various aspects of the water cycle. This enabled the children to recreate a diagram, using their knowledge about the different states of matter, to label the different concepts of the water cycle. P.E. In P.E. this week the children have worked hard with Mr Smith focussing on their hand ball skills. During indoor P.E. the children are continuing to develop their skills and understanding with regards to Bollywood dancing, recreating the various hand position, hip and feet movements to eventually design their own Bollywood dance. |
