Year 1 Guided Reading
Year 1 have enjoyed reading this week! They have worked hard looking at new vocabulary, sounding out, blending and talking about what is happening in the story.
Year 3 - Science - Magnets and Forces
Year 3's new science topic is all about Forces and Magnets. They worked their way around the tables trying to answer the three different questions - 1) Hold an object and a magnet towards each other. What could they feel? 2) Examine the different materials, on the table. Can you say which are magnetic or non-magnetic? 3) Look at the picture cards. Can they say which force is being used, a push or a pull.
Reception Class - Our Local Area
This afternoon the children have continued to develop their geographical knowledge by exploring their homes and the local area on Google Maps. The children loved directing me to their houses and pointing out familiar landmarks.
Pre School - Little Red Riding Hood
This week the children have been learning about the fairy tale Little Red riding hood. We have developed our fine motor skills using the tweezers to get the pom poms out of the forest. We developed our skills for maths with Grandma's cakes, giving a plate to Red riding hood, Grandma and wood cutter, even though we gave out the cakes the total remained the same. We played a game of hide and seek with Grandma and revisited a lesson on our senses.
Year 5 PE Tennis Skills
Today in our pe lesson we were learning backhand and forehand, year 5 had lots of fun and we needed very good eye coordination.
Year 5 - Classical Music
Today in Music we were listening to classical music and used symbols and colours to show what image the music conjures up for us. We had some interesting discussions about the different styles of music.
2’s Room - Exploring light and dark
We have had lots of fun this week, taking part in lots of different activities. We had fun exploring light and dark. We switched all the lights off in our classroom and used a torch to look around. We talked about what happens at night time and the stars and the moon shine in the sky.
Minecraft Church
Minecraft Church communities are made up of people of all ages who love meeting up together to play Minecraft, exploring faith in Christ at the same time. There are a number of Minecraft Churches, but there are also resources for those looking to start a community of their own. Rev Kev runs a Minecraft Church at St James' over Darwen, and they recently had a team from the Church of England head office come and make a film about Minecraft Church! Very exciting! Check out the video below, you might recognise some familiar faces! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmui7LTsFX4
Year 2 Music - Exploring Tempo
In Music Year 2 have been learning about musical terms such as tempo (fast and slow ) and how music affects our moods. They have listened to the song;' Walking To School' and imagined that they were sad and walked quietly and slowly to school. More pictures to follow next week!
Online Safety - MYLOL
Teenagers’ blossoming interest in romantic relationships and their devotion to online networking is a potent combination – and, regrettably, not always a safe one. It raises all kind of worries about the possibility of sharing intimate images or deeply personal information; and that’s simply with contacts their own age – to say nothing of the chance of connecting with an older stranger. MyLOL – a site which specifically facilitates interaction between 13 to 19-year-olds – has amassed around a million users worldwide, but sadly its safeguarding protocols can’t match that level of success. The ease with which an adult could pose as a teen under a bogus birthdate makes grooming a realistic threat – and that’s far from the platform’s only risk, as our guide explains.
