Herbie Writing

Today we watched some excerpts from the Herbie movie with all the other children in Pod 1. We helped make a mind map with lots of ideas about what he looks like, sounds like and what kind of car Herbie is! Then we did some drawings thinking about showing some of Herbie's personality. Then we took photos of our drawings and made a photostory. We typed our ideas into it. Ms F is going to load the photostory tomorrow.

Here is the finished photostory. We chose the music from the songs we are learning this Term and because it's about a car. Can you listen carefully to find out what kind of car the song is about? (Clue: It's not about a Beetle)!

Transport Mindmap

Here are all our ideas about Transport...

The evolution of dance!

We have just started a fun unit on dance this week. We did a mindmap of out ideas about dance and then we watched a video and added more ideas. We added our 2nd lot of ideas in red, look at everything we thought of after watching the clip! Can you think of anything else we could add?

Disney's Cars

We watched the 'Cars' clip today with Room 1 and we talked about all the different features of the vehicles. We learned two new words: spoiler and mags and we talked about all the different reasons why the vehicles have their particular features. A lot of us had seen the movie 'Cars' so we could share ideas about the car's personalities too. We did a mindmap together to help us with our writing and then after we'd finished our writing we chose some excellent examples to be published here.

Budgie the Little Helicopter

Watch this short clip and see what different vehicles you can spot. What kind of character do you think Budgie is? What can you see him doing that helps you with your opinion?

After we watched this clip we created a mindmap and used it to help us do great writing. We are getting good at finding words in a word bank and copy them accurately. We chose some good examples of writing that fit the criteria to share.

Budgie is a helpful helicopter. Budgie has a yellow cap with a blue B on it. Budgie has a blue body. Budgie's sound is brrrr. GV
