We have been looking at the artwork of an American artist called Eric Joyner. His paintings are quite unusual as they always have robots in them and most of them have donuts somewhere in them! We loved looking at the different designs and then coming up with our own. We had robots doing everyday things such as playing football and going to the shops and managed to hide some donuts in somewhere!
We have been looking at shadows in science and how different they can be. We looked at shadow puppet shows and decided to have a try of our own. We cut characters out of card and worked in groups to come up with a story. After rehearsing our puppet shows we decided the best place to perform them would be through the window. The sunlight shone through window and created a clear shadow on the blind on the inside. We worked out that if we held up our puppets outside, their shadow could be seen from inside the classroom. The puppet shows were great fun!
We have been looking at play scripts this week during our literacy sessions. We looked at the different features of a play script and then had a go at making our own. We then worked in groups to rehearse and then act out our mini-plays. There are some fantastic actors in Dosbarth Porffor! On Friday during Big Writing, we wrote another play script all about the Iron Man.
We have been doing a bit of research this week to find out about the history of robots. We found loads of information on the internet and used our note taking skills to record the facts. We used Spider diagrams to display our work using the Ipads.
