R2 have had lots of fun investigating and problem solving this week. We have found out lots more about the real life superheroes who help us everyday.
We had lots of fun maths activities this week. We tried to make symmetrical pictures.
We used different paint colours to make our pictures.
Folded them in half to print them on the other side.
The paint didn’t always stick! We looked at the symmetrical and asymmetrical bits.
We used tweezers to make up different types of medicine.
“I made this medicine for my dog.”
We wrote secrets messages to our friends.
We used a touch to read the secret messages.
“All the police are lined up”
We worked together to make a police station.
We made pattern necklaces
It was good fun!
Sometimes it was tricky to thread!
We made pattern caterpillars.
We could name the colours in Welsh as well!
We used pegs to make a continuous pattern.
Look at our fab patterns!
Great team work!
We made patterns with different objects.
“Look at my Lego tower it’s a pattern.”
We practised our throwing and catching skills.
'Food on a plate' was a really fun game using the quoits and cones.
We kept practising and showed great determination ...
... and we became really good at catching the quoits.
... to cool down we walked like penguins!
What a week in R3. We became detectives looking at clues to find out which real life superheroes our lost property belonged to. We have finally opened our Superhero HQ in the classroom so we can get on with the jobs in hand and we were I.T. whizz kids this week, using the chrome books to transport us into real superhero figures using purple mash mashcam! It has been great fun!!
Exploring linear patterns.
It took some working out but we got there!
We learned about symmetry this week. We made some beautiful symmetrical butterflies.
We fingerprinted our own to complete a symmetrical pattern.
Mrs Morgan needed help to paint the heroes for our display. We were happy to help!
We practised moving and gently throwing our quoits.
When listening to instructions it is important to hold our equipment still.
More equipment to handle, things were getting tricky!!
'Food on a plate' We needed to catch the quoit in the cone.
We practised...
and practised...
and it paid off as we started to catch more and more!
Our funny penguin walk to cool down.
We felt very grown up using the chrome books.
We are practicing login in with help.
We had great fun taking our own photos and putting them onto real life superheroes.
We definitely felt warm after a game of front support tag.
We were learning new low level shapes. This is the pike position.
The ready position.
A tuck position.
A straddle position!
We followed instructions to make odd and even monsters.
Button sorting.
A web made this trickier!
We created our own repeating patterns.
Caterpillar patterns.
R3 detectives. We needed to find out who these bags belonged to!
We explored the first bag together and decided it belonged to a child in our school.
We had a bag for each table. These belonged to a vet!
We talked about these clues and decided they belonged to a builder.
We recognised some of these items and knew they belonged to our teachers.
We had seen some of these being used when we've been poorly. They belonged to a doctor.
At last SUPERHERO H Q up and running!
R1 explored Real Life Superheroes in greater detail. We considered the roles of people who care in our society. As well as this we played around with mathematical concepts and shared creativity and thinking. By playing both inside and outside we have a healthy balance, developing ourselves in the Foundation Phase at Rhiwbeina Primary School.
We are capable learners, using a camera to capture our own image and placing it correctly.
Repeating patterns in a creative way.
We created hats and borders using repeating patterns.
Two-step and even three-step patterns are challenging!
Making repeating patterns is fun!
Some children just could not get enough of symmetry, when they got it, they wanted more!
Games is making us more healthy and confident. We tried to catch the food on the plate.
Making improvements and refining our skills.
Throwing, catching and trying to hit a target.
Creativity in R1
'What does this button do?'
Penguin walking... well, we have to balance the work and fun!
Thinking together and problem solving, using digital platforms.
Computer designs are demanding and require maximum concentration.
Symmetry allows for even more creativity.
Working together and thinking as a group of friends.
Using 'Purple Mash' we were ambitious in creating Real Life Superhero images.
Sharing ideas and solving problems.
We made jewellery using two-step and three-step repeating patterns. Trendy!
Superhero friends, learning together.
