New topic: The Sound of Music

Welcome back after the Chinese New Year holiday - I hope you all had a good time!


We are ready to start our new topic on The Sound of Music! In this topic, we will become sound experts as well as musical instrument makers! We will be listening to music from around the world and from different periods of time.


I have made a Wall for you to post questions, answer questions and make comments about what you are learning.  For our Quadblogging friends - if you would like to leave questions, answers, comments etc, please feel free.

Chinese New Year

Tomorrow is our last day before our Chinese New Year holiday. We will be celebrating by either wearing something red or traditional Chinese clothing. In the afternoon, we will be watching a lion dance performed by a  visiting group. Hopefully, we will get some good photos of their performance to show you all.

This new year will be the year of the Dragon. 

Connie, Jihyun and Grace made a poster for our door wishing everyone a Happy New Year.

Our Class Assembly!

Here, as promised, is our class assembly. It has taken a while to download and process (and I didn't get chance to edit the very beginning noise out) but here it is. I hope you enjoy watching it and are able to share it with others who were not able to be present on the day. I think you did a fantastic job - well done!

Symmetry

We were looking at symmetry in shapes today in Maths and I came across this which I thought you might like to 'play' with. Just type in your first name then press go, then do the same with your surname.

Enjoy!
