Look at Harry's dramatic art made with JiT:
Look at Anthony exploring and getting more and more skilled with JiT:

Follow Ammarah's instructions to make a glitter jar:
Picture
You will need: Glitter, clear glue, cold water, a jar and food colouring.
Instructions
First, fill half the jar with water.
Next, add glitter.
Then, fill the other half with clear glue.
After that, glue the lid on so it doesn't spill.
Finally, shake it and there is your glitter jar.
Tips
If you don't have clear glue you can use white glue. If you want to you can add a bit of food colouring. Also if you have glycerine you can add that instead of glue.

Look at Hanin having a walk away from home with her family:
Look at what Hanin made:
She writes: On saturday I made an origami ballerina. You can move the arms and legs up,down and side to side. It's like a puzzle.
Look at Hanin making slime:
She writes: I made three different types of slime. My favorite was the green slime, it was firm yet flexible.

Hello, how are you?
I miss you all very much.
I am enjoying spending time at home as it's a lot of fun!
I get to spend a lot of time with my family. We cook, help with chores, go for walks, bike rides, paint/draw, watch movies, eat together and best of all we pray together every day!!!!
​We are very lucky that we have family, food and beautiful homes. There are people out there who don't have that, we should all pray for them.


Read these children's descriptive writing about the jungle:
Picture
The loud crashing of the water fall on the rocks, splashes into my ears. As I carry on walking, I hear the lepoards yawning so I have to be very quite whilst walking. I could hear the toucan squacking very  loudly so I had to block my ears. I could see the monkeys grooming each others hair. I could see the birds flying and I wished I could fly with them . I could see the lepoards  staring at me licking their lips. As the water fell, I quickly opened my mouth and the water tasted amazing ​and yummy.
​Aatika
​I see a tired leopord sleeping on a bent, brown branch; the long orange beak of a toucan sitting quietly on a tree branch.
I can hear the beautiful and bright colours of a feathery parrot about to fly, the brown monkeys gathering together. I see the black monkey hanging on a brown branch of a tree. ​From a far distance I can hear the wooshing water coming from a water fall, the water flowing gently on the river .I can taste the saltines of the water without tasting it. I smell the smells from the animals. I touched the leopord soft skin while it's laying on the branch; he seems to like the touch. 
Yes, I used the five senses to make my peice of writting alive.
​Ammarah
The jungle is colourful with lots shades of green. it's filled with lots of colours like white, brown and yellows. It has lots of intresting insects and animals which make unusual noises; this can make you feel scared or anxious.
At night you can hear the water swishing calmly which is relaxing.
It feels humid and warm with a gentle brezze. It smells wet and damp because it gets very hot in the day and cold at night time. The jungle is a beautiful and enchanting place to be.

Read Tezzy's ​retelling of the Black Panther Comics:

Learn about rocks from Ammarah's research:
Facts about rocks
  • There are lots of types of rocks for example slate, marble, granite, sandstone and limestone .
  • There are 3 types of names rocks are from they are: Igneous, Metamorphic and Sedimentary.
Igneous
  • Igneous rock is formed when magma cools/solidifies. It may do this above or under the Earth's surface. Magma can be forced into rocks, blown out volcanic explosions or forced to the surface of lava the atoms and the molecules of melted minerals are what make up magma.
Metamorphic
  • Metamorphic rocks form when existing rocks are exposed to heat and pressure deep within the Earth's surface. Interesting facts about Metamorphic rocks: marble and slate are an example of Metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rock is formed under extreme pressure combined with heat under time.
Sedimentary
  • Sedimentary rock are formed by sediment that is deposited over time, usually as layers at the bottom of lakes and oceans. This sediment can include minerals, small pieces of plant and other organic matter. The sediment is compressed over a long period of a long time before consolidating into solid layers of rock.

Ammarah has been doing some writing and some art about the solar system:

Read Kassim's ​retelling of the Gingerbread Man:
Read Kassim's ​poem:
Picture
Once upon a time in a village were Grandma and Grandpa living together.
All of a sudden, Grandma had a plan! She was going to make a gingerbread man with 3 black buttons, white eyes, a green tie and a white mouth. Grandma put it in the heated oven.
Suddenly, the gingerbread man woke up! He stood up and got out of the oven. He thought oven's were boring so he ran out of the small house. When Grandma looked in the oven. When she did....SHE WAS FURIOUS!!!!!!!!!! When she saw the gingerbread man, she ran for him as quick as she can but she could not catch up to the skillful, rapid gingerbread man. After a couple of minutes they ran past Grandpa. When they did, Grandma shouted, "The gingerbread man got out of the oven! Help me get it!". When Grandpa heard it, he ran for it but the gingerbread man was too quick. Then a horse, a pig and a cow came but he was still too quick. Then he was next to the sea. A fox came and let him on his nose. Sadly, the gingerbread got eaten by the fox.

From a Railway Carriage
Faster than fairies, faster than witches,
Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches.
And charging along like troops in a battle
All through the meadows,the horses and cattle
All through the sights of the hills and the plain,
fly as thick as driving rain
And ever again in the wink of an eye,
painted stations whistle by.
​
Here is a child who clambers and scrambles
all by himself gathering brambles
Here is a tramp who stands and gazes
and there is the green for stringing the daisies!
Here is a cart run away in the road,
lumping along with man and load.
And here is a mill and there is a river,
​Each a glimpse and gone forever!

Read Ammarah's poem:

Up Up High
The bird went in the sky up up high to see how much he could fly fly fly,
Then he saw the wonderful sky and he zoomed up to see the lovely sight,
Then he decided he is going to stay there for the whole entire night.


Look at Jaydam's painting and writing:
Picture
​This is a picture I did of Weymouth beach.
My special trip that I remember was when I went to the beach last summer with my mum, brother, nan and grandpa. It was a very hot day. I made some new friends and a very big sand castle. The water was warm and we collected lots of baby crabs.
I think Jesus would have loved the beach.

Learn about spiders from Oskar's research:
​

Spiders crawl around 4.3 minutes then make a spider web.
Spiders have the most legs in the world. There are 40,000 different types of spiders around the world. Spiders are arachnids, not insects. Other members of the arachnid family includes Scorpions, mites, ticks and harvestmen.
Spiders are found on every continent of the world except Antarctica. Spiders have existed for nearly 380 MILLON YEARS.
Most of the 40,000 types of Spiders are genome Sers.r
The Brown Recluse spider is really dangerous. It is mostly found in the US. It has something called CYTOTOXIC VENOM; it does not kill humans but bites humans and sometimes poisons. It gets its name of its self colour and that is brown and the word recluse means one who avoids others.
​And there is the SIX EYED SAND SPIDER. This spider is thought to be one of the most venomous; it is really shy and lives in the desert and it hides its goody under the sand.

Read Haris' poem about animals:

Animal animals different sizes live in all types of places,
Fast and slow it doesn't matter because they have different abilities.
People have lots of favourite animals,
They come in lots of colours some have beaks some have sharp teeth.
​
Some eat meat some eat plants, Some eat both of these.They're super incredible!
Some can fly some can swim some stay on the shore all the time.
Some are pets because they are cute and cool,
Animals are the best thing that you will know!
