• Year 2 - Rock!

  Fri 27 Jan 2023 FProbert

  What a fabulous week! On Tuesday, the children had a fantastic morning being super explorasauruses. The children, along with many parents, were introduced to the Times Tables Rock Stars site where they learned to login and explore the Jamming and Garage activities.

  Even though the children were only introduced to the X and ÷ symbols this week, they certainly rocked it! During our open morning, the children explored different activities used to developed their understanding of multiplication and division. They created  multiplication arrays, and number lines .They also matched arrays to calculations and repeated addition, Whether it was their amazing costumes, or the support of their parents and careers, the children were sensational. A big SHOUT OUT to the parents and carers who could make it. We thank you!

  In PSHE this week, the children had to work hard with our other Learning Dinosaur – the Collabadon. The children were encouraged to work in teams to create one piece of work. It took a lot of patience, give and take, and respect for each other to succeed in this task. It was a great challenge, yet they managed it! Well done Year 2!

• Year 1 - Science

  Wed 25 Jan 2023 Mrs Ireland

  We have been learning all about the senses in science. This week, we have carried out a variety of activities including sound clip bingo, feely bags, smelling pots of a variety of things and looking closely at our own eyes. Perhaps you could work with your child at home to explore different things that stimulate their senses.

• Year 1 - Fruit Kebabs

  Fri 20 Jan 2023 Mrs Ireland

  Today, we have made our fruit kebabs. We first tasted lots of different fruits and decided which ones would go best on our kebabs. 

  Strawberries and melon were the most popular ingredients. 

  We used knives to cut the fruit and had fun making the finished kebabs.

  Finally, we tasted them...... Yummmm!!! Most of us thought they were delicious!!!

  

• Year 3 - Beatriz Milhazes' art

  Fri 20 Jan 2023

  Year 3 have had a fun time exploring the work of Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes. We have looked at examples of her work, and have begun to draw our own in a similar style.

   

  In PE, we explored different ways to travel and balance using a variety of techniques on benches. Well done to the children for their creativity!

  

• Year 4 - Pasta Sauce

  Fri 20 Jan 2023

  Year 4 have been very busy improving their cooking skills this week. They have been making a pasta sauce and had to chop onions, use a hob carefully to cook their sauce and pasta, add extra vegetables to the sauce, crush garlic, open tins and then (the best bit) taste their final product. Next week in Design and Technology they will be evaluating the process - I wonder what they will make of the sauces they made.

  

• Year 2 - Winter all around

  Thu 19 Jan 2023 FProbert

  We have had some very chilly mornings and even some snow this week. This has worked brilliantly for our Winter Poems that we created. Check these out in the photos section.

   

  Despite the chilly weather, Thursday was a scorcher; in as far as, we were able to get outside for our Games lesson. We learned how to score points by defending a target and by making runs.

   

  In ICT, we really went all out with our brilliant brains and created binary trees. We did this on paper first in preparation for doing on the computer next week.

   

  In Science, we used Venn diagrams to compare different materials using scientific vocabulary.

   

  We are all very excited that we have started working on our multiplication and division facts because next Tuesday is our Times Table Rock Stars morning! We can come to school dressed up as Rock Stars – ready to rock those times tables facts! Watch this space for some fabulous photos!

  

• Year 5 - Nature Reserve

  Thu 19 Jan 2023

  Year 5 pupils had a terrific time in the nature reserve and thoroughly enjoyed the fresh air and winter sunshine - especially after so much wind and rain recently! After another successful week of learning, the children were ready to spend some well-earned time outside, playing imaginative games, building dens and exploring the woods. Congratulations to all the children who won the den building competition!
