We have had a super time this week putting our Science learning into action! We have practised measuring accurately and wiring circuits to create our own board games. It was rather fiddly and tricky but all the children did a fantastic job!
A fabulous morning in the woods making and trying out rope swings!
Forest School! We had as fun (but challenging!) time at Forest School constructing bridges; first for bottles, then to hold a child!
We have made made Viking shields and long ships! A fabulous day was had by all! We have had to postpone the clay until after half term, but it gives us something to look forward to!
A fabulous morning constructing Viking catapults in Forest School today!
Our animal collages. This has been quite a big project for us this week and I think the results are fantastic! What a lovely way to start the year.
We had a great morning out at Forest School making musical insturments from the sticks we found and various materials. Thank you Mrs Ayres for bringing in marshmallows to toast and spending your time with us this morning. We really enjoyed being together outside.
Random Act of Kindness Week! Partridge class made books to read to Year 1 and we had the treat watching The Snail and the Whale with Year 2 and making snail trails with together.
We had an outdoor learning session in Maths today. Year 5 have been learning about measure and today we were estimating the volume and capacity of various containers.
World Book Day 2020- Year 5 based their day around the book ' The Boy in the Tower'. They created survival kits for the main character and wrote a paragraph about why they have chosen certain items in their kits. They also sketched a scene from the text and created a story box. What a fantastic day was had by all!
Today was outdoor learning day. We spent our morning reading poetry outside and Maths was out on the playground. The children were solving problems involving scaling measures using a bar models.
Cultural Diversity Week- Welcome to Japan! We had a fantastic week where we learnt so much about Japan. We learnt how to greet people with a bow, some language, practised Shodo (Calligraphy), made sushi, we did some judo exercise in PE, attempted Manga drawings, tried traditional Japanese tea, and learnt a traditional dance. We spent our final day of in Japan learning about Hokusai’s ‘The Great Wave’. We sketched the wave in our books and then used watercolour to paint ‘The Great Wave’.
