Pinecone Class - Term 5

In week 4 of the term, we began using clay to make pirate doubloons (coins). We rolled the clay between our hands to form a ball shape and then flattened it to make a coin shape. We then used the clay tools to make pictures and numbers on the coins for decoration. We will paint them when they are dry.

Last week, we practised passing and receiving techniques in PE. In PSHE, the children were discussing different aspects of friendships and personal spaces. In Science, the children were conducting an investigation into waterproof materials.

In week 2 of the term, we began learning some sculpting and crafting techniques for playdoh which will prepare us for using clay later in the term. We created different sea creatures out of playdoh. See which animals you can recognise.

In PE, we were using a range of different equipment and trying to aim at cones.

This week, we have been learning about mass. We used the balance scales to weigh and compare the masses of different objects. In English, we have been learning about diaries and we have been reading some different pirate diaries and identifying the main features of diary writing. In PE, we have been doing some ball skills relating to invasion games and showing good control with the balls.
