This week we have read the story ‘Boris Goes Camping’ and taken our learning outside, pretending we are on a camping adventure too! We have been catching butterflies, painting with mud, using chalk, having pooh stick races, colouring paper ready to decorate our big teepee and reading stories in the little teepee. We have been…
Within our DT lessons, we’ve been thinking about mechanisms to design and create our own funfair rides. The children used their computing knowledge of crumbles to control the speed of the rotation of the ride and how long the experience lasted.
Last week in science we continued our learning about carnivores, herbivores and omnivores, considering what animals ate and why! 🐯 We’ve also been in to the woods to find signs of seasonal change now that summer has arrived! We used the camera to take photographs of things that we had found, using technology that not…
Year One races their socks off at sports day! ⚽️ They tested their determination and PE skills and also showed super resilience when racing! ⭐️ They also showed compassion for each other, cheering and clapping everyone who took part showing super sportsmanship! Amazing! You are all champions! 🥇
Within our recent P.E. lessons, we’ve been looking at orienteering. The children have been strategically navigating themselves around school and answering topical retrieval questions when there. It has been lovely to see lots of effective communication and teamwork!
This week we held a whole school science day. Reception’s focus was forces. They were investigating magnets, floating and sinking, rolling, spinning and floating. It was a fabulous day and the children came away with lots of new learning.
Year Two have been learning to tell the time to the nearest 5 minutes. They have been brilliant!
We’ve been implementing our drama skills in our English lessons. We put ourselves in the shoes of Harry as he first entered Diagon Alley. We closely considered his emotions and began to reason why might feel this way.
This term we’ve been studying Henri Rousseau, a French artist and recreating his work using pencils. 🖼️ We found out facts, studied his work, recreated it using animals to help us sketch and found out about different pencils. We also layered our work and created our own Arctic and Antarctic animal pictures and then enjoyed…
We’ve had a super time in our recent computing lessons as we’ve got to grips with micro-controllers. The children have excelled with applying code to crumbles which led to sparkles and motors performing certain tasks. Those who have been most confident have also started to debug algorithms.
