Year 4 -Sensational Chefs and Talented Gymnasts
Fri 12 Jan 2024What an amazing week it has been!
After a demonstration lesson led by Chef Probert and Chef Bowden, the children were ready to be EXPLORASUS dinosaurs and have a go at planning and making their own Italian Pasta Sauce. First, the children created story boards to show the stages of their recipe, using imperative verbs. When they entered the 'kitchen', they become amazingly skillful Italian chefs!
Washing, chopping, heating, stirring, mixing, pouring were some of their skills used, with finally thoroughly enjoying their own adapted recipes.
We are so delighted to hear that so many children are also re-creating this recipe at home too!
In Indoor PE, the children have been truly talented gymnasts, who displayed themselves as great COLLABADON dinosaurs. In this week's lesson, it was all about creating balances with a partner. They had to work well together,and keep on trying until they could hole the balances without falling over!
A fabulous week!
We are looking forward to our first visit to the Nature Reserve on Monday.

Year One - Art and Paper Sculpture
Thu 11 Jan 2024Year One had a go at paper sculpture. Paper sculpture is a form of art that involves creating three-dimensional objects out of paper. They had a try at making a wide range of shapes and tried folding and cutting paper in various ways.
We discussed what a sculpture was and showed the children examples of famous ones.
They had great fun working independently and were all pleased with their finished sculptures.

Year 2 - Science
Fri 05 Jan 2024Happy New Year to you all. We hope you all had a lovely Christmas break. Year Two have made a great start to 2024 and all settled quickly back into work.
This week we have been reading and listening to poetry. We have even begun to learn The Owl and The Pussy-cat off by heart. We have talked about our favourite poems and looked at how poems are written.
In Science we went on a material hunt and talked about the properties of different materials. Perhaps you could talk about what different objects are made from at home and why these materials are used. Here are a few photos from our material hunt.

Year 6 - History
Fri 05 Jan 2024It has been lovely to see everyone back and eager to start the new year! To start our new history topic on Ancient Greece, we looked at previous historical learning on inventions: stone age, bronze age, Egyptians, Ancient Greece, iron age, Romans, first railway, Victorians and the first flight. Working collaboratively, the children had to correctly sequence the events in chronological order. They were amazing!

Year 4 - New Year- New Beginnings
Fri 05 Jan 2024It is so good to see all the children return well rested and enthusiastic for our new topics.
It has been a very busy 4-day week.
In Music, the children have started a new topic where they are learning to play the Mardi Gras on the glockenspiels.
Outdoor PE this week, has brought the exciting topic of tag rugby and luckily, it brought the sunshine!
In French, Madame Smith read Goldilocks and the Three Bears in French, and the children were introduced to names for family-member names. Why not test them to see what they can remember?
The children are really looking to next week, where they will be using their instructional writing skills to write and follow a recipe for making pasta sauce. Look out for those photos next week.
We wish you all a very Happy New Year!

Year 5 - Healthy, Balanced Diet
Thu 04 Jan 2024This half term, children in Year 5 will be learning about what constitutes a healthy, balanced diet, culminating in making their own healthy pizzas.
Year 5 began this Design & Technology topic by looking at the NHS EatWell Guide, which gives advice on the proportion of each food group to eat in order to maintain good health. The children used this information to design their own healthy, balanced meals.
