Week 2 in Hoy Class

Week Beginning 24.8.15

Hoy class have been learning about the human skeleton this week.   We started by learning about various bones in the body and found out what their jobs are.  Then we used junk and various materials to create a life like skeleton.  We had to work in groups and make sure we included the bones we had been learning about.

Watch this space for our finished skeletons!!

On Wednesday we took part in a Tag Rugby session with Tom.  He went over skills we had learnt last year and then we played some tag games. 

We have also been learning our spelling words in different ways this week.  We have a spelling contract which we can pick an activity from.  One of the activities is to spell our words using shaving foam...

Very messy!!

It was a lovely day on Thursday so we practiced our words using chalk outside.

Hoy class - getting to know you activities

We have spent the first week of term getting to know each other.  We thought about things we wanted our classroom to be and came up with a class contract which we have all signed. 

We would like our  classroom to be safe,  happy,  fun,  respectful,  exciting and a good learning community.

We also started our human body  topic by looking at our faces.  We cut our pictures in half and tried to draw the other half.  It wasn't as easy as we thought it might be! 

Some of us challenged ourselves to complete a puzzle ball of the world!  It took a few days but it is now complete! !
