  At the end of our DT topic, each child followed their instructions to create their own own crumble. Take a look...

  

• Year 5 - Finding Out About Levers, Gears and Pulleys

  Thu 31 Mar 2022

  The children in Year 5 learnt all about levers, gears and pulleys in their science lesson this week. They found out how these mechanisms make heavy jobs easier for us to do, as we can apply a smaller force to achieve a greater effect. We looked at different everyday objects, which the children sorted into groups, depending on whether their mechanisms were levers, gears or pulleys. They then worked together, following instructions to make their own simple pulleys.

  

• Year One - Our walk around the Radipole area

  Thu 31 Mar 2022 Mrs Ireland

  On Wednesday, we went on a walk around the Radipole area as part of our geography work. We followed the map and looked at the view. We passed Radipole Manor, St Anne's church and the Scout Hut. 

   

  Our last stop was the play park. We had great fun on the circular swing and going down the slide. 

   

  The weather was lovely and some of us even had time to pick a few daisies. 

   

  Back in the classroom, we talked about the what we had done and where we had been. Then we used time connectives ( First, next, after that, finally etc) to write a recount of our journey.

   

  

• Reception- 3D shape superstars

  Thu 31 Mar 2022

  This week has been all about the 3D shapes.

   

  We have sang songs about 3D shapes, explored if they can roll or slide, and counted their faces, edges and points if they have any!

  We have sorted household objects into groups and made pictures and models with them. We printed patterns using the faces of the shapes and much, much more! 

  

• Year 3 - Fractions Hunt

  Fri 25 Mar 2022

  Year 3 have been learning about fractions for the last few weeks. Today they took part in a fractions treasure hunt. They worked so well in pairs, and they really impressed us with how much they have understood about the fractions they have learnt about. Well done Year 3!

  

• Year 4- Reading and play production

  Fri 25 Mar 2022 Nick Hargreaves

  This week, we enjoyed reading our class text , ‘The Fire-Work Maker’s Daughter’ by Philip Pullman. Special thanks to the P.T.F.A for supplying us with enough copies for each child to have their own book.

   

  We have also been practising our year 4 show- ‘A Big green Adventure’, which we will share with you soon. Check out the photo for a sneak preview of some of the masks we’ll be using.

  

• Year 6 Crumble Tasting

  Fri 25 Mar 2022

  As part of Year 6's DT project, they had the opportunity to try some different flavoured crumbles before designing and making their own. There were certainly different opinions on the crumbles- some children spent the lesson grimacing while others kept coming back for extra! 

  

• Year 2 - Henri Matisse

  Fri 25 Mar 2022

  We have been creating our own masterpieces in the style of Henri Matisse. We had great fun tearing and cutting paper to make our collage.

  

• Reception -Cress heads

  Thu 24 Mar 2022

  We have been watching our cress heads grow with great interest.

  We planted the cress seeds on cotton wool and watered them every day.

   

  We have taken the cress heads home to cut their green ‘hair’, put in a sandwich and eat! Yummy 😋 

  

• Cup Match

  Thu 24 Mar 2022

  The first match since COVID-19, and the boys played their socks off! They worked well as a team, tried hard throughout the game, played fairly and most importantly displayed excellent sportsmanship from start to finish. Each and everyone should be proud of their performance.
