• Reception - Choc dip bananas

  Thu 17 Mar 2022 Mullins

  This week has been all about the very tasty Choc dip banana!

   

  We know all about bananas and chocolate and where they are grown and how chocolate is made.

  We decided to combine them both to make a tasty treat!

  We had to peel and chop the bananas, melt the chocolate and then the best bit....dip and taste! Yummy.

  We even wrote about this so we can remember all about it. 

  

• Year 5 - Science

  Wed 16 Mar 2022

  This week, as part of their 'Forces' topic, the Year 5 children investigated the effects of water resistance. After discussing their own knowledge and experiences of water resistance, they then went on to test the effect of water resistance on objects of different shapes. Using Plasticine moulded into different shapes, the children observed which shapes travelled more quickly through water, and they discussed why certain shapes took longer to sink. Perhaps they can tell you about this at home! 

  

• Year 6 - Learning Mentors

  Mon 14 Mar 2022

  Year 6 have taken on a new responsibility this week in becoming learning mentors to a child in Year 3. This week, the children met with their learning buddy in Year 3 and listened to them read. It was lovely to see how mature and supportive the children were, and they all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The Year sixes will continue to meet with their learning buddy on a regular basis to provide support and share activities with. 

  

• Year One - Measuring fun!

  Fri 11 Mar 2022

  Year 1 have been learning about measurement in Maths.  We have been using pasta and cubes to measure different classroom objects.  We used length vocabulary to compare objects eg. long, longer, longest.

• Year 5 World Book Day Tasks

  Fri 11 Mar 2022

  The children in Year 5 produced some wonderful work as part of their World Book Day activities last week. This work is now part of some fabulous displays outside and inside the Year 5 classrooms. Their ideas for time machines were fantastically creative, and their visions for the future were incredibly insightful and imaginative. I wonder which of their ideas will come true! Will we ever be able to travel through time? 

  

• Year 4 – Spectacular work!

  Fri 11 Mar 2022 FProbert

  This week the Year 4 children have worked tremendously hard in every subject!

  In English, they wrote some amazing instructions for creating some SPECTACULAR fireworks which included adding in some spectacular ingredients and using some bossy verbs – Imperative verbs.

  In Maths, they have worked spectacularly to calculate fractions for a number using their D.A.D.’s help – (Draw A Diagram).

  The whole school were very proud to see Year 4 being the first year group to perform in our singing assembly. They really were SPECTACULAR!

  Finally, we are so very, very proud of the spectacular effort that the children made today. Their non- uniform donations collected a whopping amount of money.  THANK YOU to all the parents and to the children; many of whom raided their own money-boxes. in order to donate. SPECTACULAR!

  

• Year 3 maths stars 🌟

  Fri 11 Mar 2022

  Year 3 have been working hard on their written methods of multiplication and division in maths, and using them to solve word problems and reasoning problems.
   

  Well done to all the children for their perseverance. 👍😇

   

  At home, why not get them to show you what they can do? If a toy box holds 37 toys, how many toys will fit in 8 boxes? If 84 children sit equally on 4 coaches, how many are on each coach? 

  

• Reception- We love chocolate!

  Thu 10 Mar 2022 Reception

  It’s been all about chocolate this week in Reception!

   

  We have found out about cocoa pods and beans and how chocolate is made. 

   

  Tasting the chocolate was the best bit. We played the chocolate game which is so much fun...you could play this at home.

   

  We designed chocolate making machines and wrote about the chocolate we tasted. We created some lovely mugs of hot chocolate in the hope we could taste some at bedtime. Yummy 😋 

  

• Year 6 Algebra

  Thu 10 Mar 2022

  Year 6 having been working exceptionally hard in maths to form algebraic expressions and equations. This week, the children used skittles to from equations based on the different colours that they had in their packets. They then switched with a partner to see if they could work out how many of each colour their classmate had. The biggest highlight of course was not the algebra but the skittle eating afterwards!

  

• Year 2 Trip to Radipole Bird Reserve and Weymouth Seafront

  Wed 09 Mar 2022

  We’ve been on an adventure!

   

  We had a lovely trip around Radipole bird reserve using binoculars to spot all the different bird species. We also strolled along the seafront finding Georgian buildings and sketching.

  
  The children were beautifully behaved, and it was so great to get out of the classroom and enjoy the sun - while it was shining at least!
