Beat That!

1. Each Player takes turns rolling two dice.
2. When a player has rolled the dice, they should place the dice in the order that will produce the largest number possible. For example, if a player rolled a 2 and a 5, they may choose 52 as their number to beat as that is a larger number than 25.
3. After each throw, player one challenges player two to ‘Beat That’.
4. Play this game in rounds, assigning a winner of each round.
5. CHALLENGE: Play the game using 3 dice.

Higher or Lower

1. Take it in turns to roll two dice, adding up the total.
2. Guess whether the next roll will make a number that is higher or lower than the last.
3. Aim to consecutively move ten times up the board from start to finish.
4. If you guess incorrectly, it’s your partner’s turn to play.

Tower Power

1. Each player rolls a dice twice, adding together the numbers they get in each roll.
2. Players build a tower using the same amount of blocks as their total.
3. Repeat, in turns, until your tower is about to collapse.
4. The winner is the player who has the tallest tower.
5. If your tower collapses, you lose this round.

Calculations

1. Roll a die three times.
2. How many calculations can you create with the numbers you rolled?
3. The winner is the player who accurately creates the most calculations.

Tug of War

1. Draw a number line from 1 to 27 with an arrow pointing down from number 14.
2. Player 1 moves their counter to the right of number 14 and Player 2 moves their counter to the left of number 14.
3. Take it in turns to roll two dice, adding the two numbers rolled.
4. Move your counter in your direction.
5. If their counter reaches 27 first Player 1 wins the game. If their counter reaches 1 first then Player 2 wins the game.

Make 50

1. Take turns to roll three dice.
2. Add or subtract the numbers rolled to give a total for each turn, with the aim of getting to a total score of 50.
3. Continue rolling, adding and subtracting until your total score is as close to 50 as possible. Each player can roll up to ten times.
4. When scoring, you can be under but not one point over 50.
5. At the end of each round, the player closest to 50 is the winner and gains a point.
6. CHALLENGE: Use 3 dice and try to make 100

This week in my house, we collaborated by playing a board game together. We had to take turns when playing, help each other to understand the rules and we even tried not to get cross when we were losing, which was quite difficult! 
 

I can’t wait to hear all about how you collaborated in your house!

Visit to the Church

Today, we had a fantastic time visiting our local church and learnt all about the Christmas story. We enjoyed watching the Christmas story and were given the opportunity to wear costumes and act the story out. After that, we created a Jesse Tree. A Jesss Tree is a decorative tree used during Advent to retell the stories of the Bible that lead to Jesus's birth.

Gathering Vocabulary

This morning, we analysed the first page our new literacy book and thought of words to describe it. We then collaborated to put these words in a beautiful picture called a word cloud.

Check out our word clouds below!

Breaking News!

Over this half term, we have been reading the book Pattan's Pumpkin and it has been fantastic! We have wrote many pieces about the text, but our final write was a report about enormous pumpkin rolling down the mountain and crashing in the River Indus. Everyone was so impressed with the reports, we think we have some news reporters in the making.

Pumpkin Carving

At the start of this half term we planted our own pumpkin seeds to help us understand how Pattan grew his pumpkin.  Although we have not managed to produce a pumpkin yet we have managed to grow some good plants.  We stretched our Imagining Muscle and carved our own pumpkins to use in our Zu3D animation re-telling the story of 'Pattan's Pumpkin'.  We have all really enjoyed this story this half term.

Pattan's Pumpkin Animation

To finish our learning around the book 'Pattan's Pumpkin' we created an animation of the story using Zu3D software.  We drew a story map to help us re-tell the story and then created the characters using plasticine.  We had to stretch our Persevering Muscle when we were filming as it was quite frustrating making sure we only moved the characters a tiny amount for each frame.  Have a look at our final animations...

Iron Age Forts

We made our own roundhouses and then created a class fort.  We stretched our Reasoning Muscle to describe the advantages of living in a fort and how housing changed over time from The Stone Age to The Iron Age.

Stone Age Painting

We went to The Den with Mr Green and used natural resources to make our own paints.  We made links to what we've learnt about The Stone Age and picked leaves and berries and crushed them in a pestle and mortar.  Have a look at our Stone Age art...
