E-safety in Year Five

This week, Year Five have been revising our important values and rules to stay safe whilst online. They considered appropriate online conduct whilst also began to think about sources which are trustworthy and how we can tell.  

A visit from Mr Such in Year Two

The Year Two children have been learning about sacred places in RE. They have discussed the church many times over their time at Hillside, so this time, they put all their questions about the church in a letter to Mr Such. This week, he came in to discuss the answers with the children.

Computing in Reception

To complete our computing learning,  we have been learning how to programme the Beebots  to follow a path around a range of different maps. The children loved predicting where the Bee-Bot would finish once they had programmed it.

Press printing in Year Four

After learning about Andy Warhol, the Year Four children have had a go at press printing. They created designs and then used polystyrene tiles to etch in their final design. After producing their art, they evaluated their work and enjoyed sharing their work with each other.
