Before our computing lesson, we made a tally chart of our favourite food and favourite subjects in school. Then, we used the computers to turn our tally chart into pictograms. We did this to make it easier to see our results and help us determine which is the most popular food and subject. We worked in pairs to produce our pictograms. We had lots of fun creating them and found it helped us find out Horse Chestnut's favourite food and subject. Can you work it out from our pictograms?

On Tuesday 19th March, we had a very special visitor come to us. Leigh Hodgkinson, an author and illustrator, came to talk to us about a book we have been learning about 'Goldilocks and just the one bear'. Leigh spoke to us about the book and read it to us and the best thing was, they wrote and drew it! Afterwards, Leigh showed us how they drew the character and we had a go ourselves. We asked lots of amazing questions and some of us want to be authors and illustrators when we grow up! Thank you for visiting us Leigh and we can't wait to read your next exciting book!

On Friday 7th March, we celebrated World Book Day at John Blandy. We had lots of fun activities including writing a book review our favourite book and redesigning a front cover for a book we really enjoyed. We had lots of fun sharing our favourite stories and listening to new ones we hadn't heard before. 

During our english lessons this week, we have been learning about noun phrases and how they can add extra detail into our descriptive writing. We played a game with a partner that encouraged us to think of a fantastic adjective to go with our determiner and noun to make a noun phrase. Some of us added to adjectives with a comma inbetween. We had lots of fun and can't wait to put what we have learnt in to our writing.

During our maths lesson, we used base 10/Deines to help us picture tens and ones in a 2 digit number. Then, we added them together to find the answer of our calculations and write them on our whiteboards.

In Art, we hae been learning about Rangoli Patterns and how to make them. We used oil pastels and coloured rice to help create our patterns.

In English, we learnt about the features of letters and were given a letter that had the features in the wrong place. With our partners, we rearranged the features, so the letter was correct.

In Geography, we learnt about the features of towns and the countryside. Next, we worked in pairs to compare towns and the countryside and what features we would find in both. We enjoyed discussing the features and we were amazed at what we would find in a town and in the countryside.
