The Piano by Aidan Gibbons

As part of our literacy work, we have been writing narrative for a sort animated film called The Piano.

We used a pesentation programme to import freeze frames from the film and wrote our own voice overs. We had done lots of presentation work for this thinking about what the characters would say and how they would feel and how camera and film techniques are used.

VE DAY STREET PARTY

Plans are well underway for our VE Day style street party on Friday. We are all very excited about acting out our own street party as if it was 1945!

We have done lots of research to make our party as authentic as possible and are now busy planning costumes , deciding what food to bring (not easy with rationing!) making decorations and deciding on what entertainment we will have.

We have been learning some WWII songs for a sing along and have learnt some simple waltz and swing dancing moves.

We know we are going to have such a great time - hope to see you there!!!

What a busy couple of weeks we have had - we are very sorry for not posting sooner!

Last week was Enterprise Week. In Formula Base we studied Fairtrade and how it helps improve the lives of farmers in developing countries and we made masquerade masks to sell at the enterprise market to raise money for Comic Relief.

Here is our week in pictures:

We learnt about Fairtrade chocolate and about how much of the money from a £1 bar of chocolate actually goes to the cocoa farmers. We even got to try the chocolate!

Part of our display about the chocolate journey and Fairtrade.

We carried out a survey when planning our masks designs to see what materials, designs and colours people preferred. We then recorded our results in graphs and made conclusions from our findings.

We made symmetrical templates.

A finished mask. We managed to make 62! We worked out that it cost us 23 pence to make each mask.
We advertised our product in assembly. We wrote and recorded radio adverts.



Our glitzy stall all ready for the enterprise market. We sold 57 masks and came second in the competition to see which class made the most money!
