We entered the class to the sound of whale song, we were going to learn all about our mascot. We did a mind map of the things we know about Blue Whales, then we played a game of word chain using words to do with whales and the sea. We watched a video all about Blue Whales and found out lots of new facts about them. We started out class poster.
We started by learning about our new teacher, Mr Nick, finding out where he comes from, which is Wales, in the UK. We received our new textbooks and portfolios, wrote our names on them, and started to decorate the covers. We played 2 truths and a dream to learn more about our classmates and then filled in ‘All about me’worksheets. We had a class discussion about the importance of rules, and came up with a list of class rules which we wrote in our portfolios. We taught Mr Nick the rules of ‘Werewolf’ and ‘Mafia’, and played a few rounds of the game. Finally, we thought about one thing we had learnt or enjoyed in our class today.
