We’ve been computing crazy creating digital artwork, using the BeeBots and honing our mouse skills when sorting data the last few weeks! We’ve learned about a range of tools, apps and objects that all enable us to use computing to make life easier or help us to create artwork, give directions or sort information in…
This week we have been creating our own maps for our journey to school. We have included lots of features that you would see on a real map such as roads, houses, shops and rivers.
Year One went to visit Peak Wildlife Park where they saw lots of interesting animals linked to their learning! They spied penguins and polar bears linked to their geography and talked about animal types and what they ate linked to science too, listening to a keeper talk about lemurs and wallabies! 🐧🐻❄️ We were so…
This week, Year Five visited Peak Wildlife Park to supplement their learning within science. Whilst there, they learnt all about the different animals and how Peak Wildlife Park care for them. Most importantly, the children considered the different points of the lifecycles which the animals were in and how the lifecycles of the animals were…
During our RE afternoon and we were thinking about prayer and worship. 💒 We talked about how and why people pray before moving on to creating our own religious artefacts. We made labyrinths, which some people use to help focus their thoughts, wooden crosses, stained glass windows and religious crosswords. The children had a lovely…
In computing we’ve been using ‘paintz’ to create digital artwork! We drew ourselves and then worked together to create pieces in the style of Mondrian using the line, shape and fill tools! Well done everyone! 💛
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…
