25 - 31 July (week 30)

Vin played quite a lot of his kahoot times table game this week and is getting speedier with working out the answers. 

We looked at a map of the United Kingdom and located some places that are important to us and where the four countries of the UK are. We also had a go on google street view and took some tours of some places around the world.

We did a few cosmic kids videos this week, hulk super hero yoga, a zen den, and lulu the lioness.

We looked at a self portrait by Paul Klee and read about contour lines in art. We drew our own self portraits.Vin drew a lot of Mario characters too!

We read a biography of an artist, and some first person accounts of events. Then we answered some questions about them and did puzzles (and Vin drew some little pics inspired by Kung Fu panda which we watched recently!)

We read the telling the time book and practiced reading some clocks. 

Vin did some more typing practice.

Vin wrote down the books he read for the Summer reading challenge so far and we went to the library and he collected his medal for finishing the challenge (several times over...in a week!) and loads of other new books.

Vin read an Egyptian themed history quest book.

We got out the sticker books of British animals and stuck in lots of sea creatures stickers. We looked up limpets, whelks and cockle shells and other molluscs, common octopus, squid, and anemones. We were amazed how many different colourful creatures live around our shorelines.

We read about moths.

We played with the story sacks before they were returned to the library, did a jigsaw puzzle, played a name the animal quiz game, read the books, and Vin made up his own stories with the toys.

We printed out some animals from the activities to do from the book The Greatest show on Earth. We cut them out and made our own mammal mashups! We ended up with some very peculiar looking creatures.

We did lots of puzzles from the Maths puzzle pad.

We listened to some bits of music from Movie soundtracks and listened to how they made us feel, whether it was exciting or scary or calm. 

We played the ghost hunter logic game.

Vin has come up with most of the activities for next week!
