Summer Term by Chloe Pope

16/4/2021

This is our last ever term in Ogmore Vale Primary before going to comp which is both exciting but slightly nerve racking!!! 

Our new topic is called A Child's War and we are learning about World War 2. We started by discussing what we already knew about World War 2(which wasn't a great deal!). We began by creating a timeline of important events and then shaded in parts of the world to show who the British Allies, Axis Powers and Axis-controlled countries were.

In English, we are studying Michael Morpurgo and his books. We have began reading one of his novels, Friend or Foe and have written about a characters feelings and emotions.  Did you know?  That originally, Michael Morpurgo was a soldier in the army but decided to become a teacher.  He told stories every afternoon, until, he ran out of writers stories to read so he made up his own and was encouraged to write books.

In maths, we have started studying coordinates and have reflected polygons in different quadrants.

Our new wellbeing project, Jigsaw, has started this week. Our class characters are Paws and Jigsaw Jem. We have agreed on a Jigsaw charter.

Hi Everyone!
Its our second week back in school and we have been really busy. We began the week by discussing the importance of staying safe online and created an E safety charter.
Picture
We have been learning how to write explanations. We designed our own spy gadgets and explained how they worked. We made sure to include: technical vocabulary, time connectives, conjunctions, introductions, conclusions, diagrams and we arranged them in chronological order.

As part of our electricity topic we have been learning about circuits. We designed a light up picture, what do you think?

School's Open by Amber Davy

It was amazing to be back in school after such a long lockdown. To start our week off we began reflecting on our feelings about lockdown and Covid-19, we used out thoughts to create Haiku poems. Here is mine.

We used a list of articles from the UNCRC to help us amend our class charter.
Picture
We have ended the week by celebrating Red Nose Day. This is important  because it raises money and awareness to ensure children who need our help the most are safe, healthy and educated, like Ethan who is 9 years old with a condition called Cerebral Palsy. He attends 'Steps' which has helped him sit up, walk, run and enabled him to make friends.  Steps is funded by Comic Relief and by supporting Red Nose Day we are helping children here in the UK and around the world to have the best possible start in life.
​Have a nice weekend!

Would you rather? Read through these amusing scenarios with your family. Some are difficult to choose between. Maybe you could create your own scenarios to share with us in next week's Google Meet. ​

In the 1960s Andy Warhol became known as one of the leading artists of the pop art movement.
Pop artists felt that art should reflect modern life and so they made art inspired by the world around them – from movies, advertising and pop music to comic books and even product packaging.
Warhol was famous for exploring everyday and familiar objects in his work, using brands such as Coca-Cola, Brillo and Campbell’s Soup.  He liked the idea of taking ordinary things, for example cereal or bananas, and turning them into art.
He did this with his famous print of a tomato soup can. He also made a print of every type of soup that Campbell's made! 
​

Today’s family task is to have a go at designing your own soup can!   It can be a real soup flavour or an imaginary one!
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT
  • What ingredients will go in your soup? How does it taste?
  • What will it be called?
  • Should the can be bright and bold or cool and dark?
  • How would it look in the supermarket?

A brain teaser for you all today.  Try and crack the Ditloid puzzles below.  You’ll need to work out what the phrase is from the numbers and abbreviated letters in the clues.  All of the phrases have something to do with time. 
I’ll post the answers on Google Classroom later this afternoon. 
Good luck!
