It was a pleasure to have a visit from Mr Such this week in Year Five as he spoke to us about Remembrance in preparation for his assembly on Friday. The children listened very well and recognised the significance of remembering those who contributed efforts in wars past and present.
Year Three continues to explore animals from the rainforest and are preparing themselves to write a non-chronological report. Today, they identified the features through group work and discussions.
Year One have started their learning around plants this week. They began to consider what a plant is, where they might find them and why and went on a plant hunt in and around the school grounds. They really had to study the area to spot flowering plants due to the season but then found […]
Year One went to Milton as part of their learning about the local area. They considered the human and physical geography – what has been made by humans and what has always been there – and completed a travel survey, spotted old and new buildings and visited the park and chippy! Their behaviour was excellent […]
This week Reception have been learning about the story of the Gunpowder Plot. They were excited to learn about Guy Fawkes and his foiled plot to kill King James. The children used the masks o recreate the story.
Year Four have been learning and practising a variety of rolls in PE. Luckily, we have some super gymnasts who have been leading the warm ups and stretching at the beginning of the lessons.
This week we have been decorating some halloween biscuits, we have used sweets and chocolate chips and practised our one to one counting to create some spooky faces! 🎃 👻
What a fabulous day we had in our Brazil day! We took off to Rio de Janeiro, wrote a holiday leaflet and created a Maths game called ‘The rainforest hunt’. In the afternoon, we have learnt more about how Brazilians live and we prepared ourselves for a carnival. Lots of fun!
Our learning in forces has continued as we focused on air resistance. The children completed an investigation where they were challenged to see if they could find the most streamlined shape. They used their scientific skills to time the falls precisely and we took an average to increase reliability.
As part of our DT and Computing we have made pumpkin soup. We had to follow the instructions carefully, chopping the pumpkin and onion before putting it in the oven to roast. We can’t wait to try it 🎃
