Our First Day

Computing

We have been busy in Computing learning how to program BeeBots. We have also learnt what an algorithm is. We enjoyed debugging our programs if they went wrong!

We made a healthy vegetable soup and the bread to go with it.

English

On Wednesdays we learn about Poetry. We learn poems to perform on the 'Poetry Podium'.

Here we are performing our innovated poems using the poem 'Autumn Leaves'.

We have been talking about the seasons and the changes that happen in autumn. Then we went onto the field and played with the crunchy, brown leaves.

The Birmingham Royal Ballet

We went to Queen's College on Thursday 15th October to take part in a ballet workshop. We really enjoyed learning all about the different ballet movements and positions. Take a look at our photos and videos of us trying out the movements we learnt!
