Our wish plan




The children were given a A3 map of the playground, they drew the activity they wished for.






Many children wish for a climbing frame and a playhouse. keep your eye on this blog to find out what the children finally decide upon.

Playtime poems

We wrote a poem with the theme "playtime"

We copied our poems to microsoft word, we changed the colour and size of our writing.

We inserted a picture from clip art.











Our poems have been put on our "playground partnership display" in our school hall.

Music and singing

Class 9 were thinking about poetry, they used a poem all about playtime to practice with their friends. They used musical instruments to help with the rhythm. Once they practiced this, they said their poem in front of their friends.




Look out for our own playtime poems later in this blog!

Measuring

In maths we needed to get the measurements of the playground, we worked with our friends, this helped as we could check each others work.



We used metre sticks and metre wheels, one of use measured whilst the other recorded.
When we got back to our classroom we transferred the measurements onto a plan.





Practice Budgets


In maths, we practiced working to a budget. we picked which activities we would like, then we worked out if we had enough money.







Our playground now





Our children spent time drawing the playground as it is now.
