Poplars

Welcome to Poplars Class!

2019-2020

Dear Poplars and Parents, 

It's Creative Arts Week.

There are 2 weekly planning sheets for this week, one for our class with English and Maths etc on and one which is the Whole School Creative planning which gives you a wide range of activities to choose from over the week. I have planned Maths as usual but there is a choice of activities for English that you can link with the art tasks. I will find time to join in with some of the art activities during the week and look forward to seeing what you create. 

 

I am not able to come into school so your visit day this week will be with Mrs Baker. Have a great day- she has fun activities planned and I am sure you will enjoy seeing each other. 

Have a fantastic week.

Best Wishes.

Mrs Moss

The Egyptian Level

Still image for this video
We finished our afternoon, and Egyptian topic with a mini concert.

20.3.20 We took advantage of the appearance of the sun on Friday afternoon and went outside for a skipping session.

Sport Relief. It was great to have the sunshine for our 10 minute run this morning. Poplars enjoyed a half hour skipping session and a few children bravely demonstrated skills in assembly too.

We made Magnetic maze games as part of our Science topic. With a magnet underneath the box, they moved their magnetic character around the maze.

Fairtrade. As part of some work for Fairtrade fortnight the children used the atlases to find countries where fairtrade foods are grown.

World Book Day

World Book Day 1

3.3.20. Poplars enjoyed a very energetic but fun skipping workshop with Dan this morning. I hope they have showed you some of their skills.

We decided to join in with Mrs King's 'Extreme reading' challenge.

Our English lessons this half term will focus on stories including dragons. The children have been given the challenge of finding books that have dragons as characters.

25.2.20 We investigated magnetic poles in Science today. They made their own compass with a magnet, plastic pot and tray of water. Then had fun creating speedboats and discovered how fast they could make their 'boat' move around in the water without touching it.

11.2.20 The children enjoyed dressing up in Egyptian clothes this afternoon and writing their name in hieroglyphs on real papyrus paper.

4.2.20 Magnetic mazes. We spent the morning testing the strength of different magnets and then designed and created our own magnetic maze games.

28.1.20 We had a fun and information-packed day with Sabef, the Ancient Egyptian visitor. They helped build an Egyptian boat and a house, looked at different artefacts and discussed what that showed us, helped mummify Tutankhamun's body and even dissected Egyptian poo.

27.1.20 We had a great morning at Okehampton College for the dance and gym event. The bounce track photos are a little bit blurry due to how fast they bounced down the inflatable track but I'm sure the children will tell you all about it.

24.1.20. Playing board games as part of our sequence on learning to tell the time.

7.1.20 'There's a Pharaoh in our Bath'. We created freeze frames for part of the story where the family first meet the Pharaoh. They were surprisingly good at acting out the brother and sisier who were arguing.

9.1.20. We have started our Egyptian topic and spent the afternoon looking at Egyptian painting. We used paint and black fine liners to create our own. Ask the children how Egyptian people were drawn.

Mrs ST James helped the children create a chocolate Christmas tree or bauble.

Poplars have been joined again by 2 cheeky elves. Keep checking back to see what they are getting up to.

Well done for all of your hard work leading up to our production. We were very proud of you all.

The disabled toilet was a great place to go to investigate making different shadows. They discovered they could make their shadow bigger than them or change its position behind them, they could have more than one shadow and they could make lighter and darker shadows all by moving the torch or by changing how many torches they used.

Recorders Brake Ben, Brake

We investigated how we could make more than one shadow and what happened when we moved the object nearer or further away from a flat surface.

13.9.19 The Boy with the Bronze Axe freeze frames. So far in our class text... Kali and Brockan had gone to a little rocky island to collect limpets and crabs. The tide came in without them realising and they were stranded. As they started to panic, Tenko managed to row his boat alongside them and get them safely back to Skara Brae.

After looking at different bridge designs the children had a morning to design and make their own bridge. This time it had to reach across a gap of 20cm and be able to support the weight of a small toy car.

How strong can you make a bridge. that crosses a 10cm gap, using just 1 sheet of A4 paper and 30cm of sellatape? This was their challenge for this morning. We had great fun testing them.

As part of our Rivers topic we wrote Tanka poems today.

Learning all about mummification as part of our Ancient Egyptian topic with Miss Radbourne involved being brave enough to put their hand into a bag to work out which body part had been removed before being put into a canopic jar. They also had fun mummifying each other.

What would the brain feel like? They definitely didn't like the feel of that organ You must keep the amulet close to the body. The neatest Mummy.

5.3.19. We had a visit from Jane to talk to us about what it is like living in Egypt. We also got to try on Egyptian clothes and eat a traditional Egyptian breakfast. The eggs, bread and tomatoes went down well- the ful ( a mixture of beans that was slightly spicy) was less popular! Jane started to teach us how to count to 10 in Arabic and the Egyptian alphabet.

14.2.19. Poplars were given the challenge of making a boat out of plastercine that would float. They then had to investigate the maximum number of 'passengers' it could carry.

February 2019. Poplars have been having lots of fun in Science. They investigated the permeability of different soils and investigated the size of 'craters' created by dropping balls in sand.

4.2.19 We had a fantastic afternoon at Okehampton College for the Year 3 dance, trampoline and movement workshops. They had the opportunity to use the air-track, double trampoline, learn a dance.

25.1.19 Very proud of the children who could attend the Wellbeing event after school on Friday. They sang, played recorder and demonstrated the ukuleles brilliantly.

9th January 2019 Line and shape investigations. I know it looks like we were having a quick kip first week back but we were investigating parallel, perpendicular and adjacent lines.

We found we had made right angles. Who could make a right angled triangle?

18.12.18 Christmas jumper Day and Christmas Dinner

Looking very festive. Crackers! Daring each other to eat a Brussel sprout.

December 2018. Poplars have been joined by 2 cheeky elves in the run up to Christmas. Look at what they have been up to so far.

They were helping to cut out the paper baubles. Look who took all the pencils. Balancing on the Maths equipment, They decorated Eric. They have shared the advent sweets. A cardboard tube castle! Even elves need to practice their maths. Playing with Lego. Zip-wiring across the classroom. Very cheeky doodling on their photos. All the books wrapped up so no work could be done.

11.12.18. Poplars and Oaks performed brilliantly in their Science production.

Electric Light Race Poplars' Body Popping dance Rocks! Rocks! Rocks! The 'rock' band.

Our Friday 10 minute run!

Ready to go! Still got the energy to pose for a photograph. Who can run for 10 minutes without stopping?

Poplars really enjoyed their visit to Merrivale as part of our topic 'Stone Age to Iron Age.'

The menhir is massive. A bronze age burial. This will keep the Dartmoor pixies away! Procession along the Stone row. Cremated remains were buried here. A bronze age Cist A stone hut. Imagine living here! Despite the Dartmoor mist is was a great day.
