Wake Up Wednesday
As one of the most popular messaging apps available, Snapchat sees an enormous amount of usage across the globe – with a significant number of those utilising the platform being under 18. For that reason, it’s important to understand the potential risks to younger users when spending time on this app. Of course, it can be difficult to identify every hazard associated with the platform, let alone what can be done to mitigate these concerns. Our guide lays out the key online safety risks of Snapchat, as well as how to safeguard young people while they use the app.
Pre-School- UTW-Electricity
In Pre-School the children have been learning about Electricity. We explored where electricity comes from and how it works, what happens when it goes off and how we get it to come back on again. We found that items like torches and clocks run off batteries and the interactive board and light table need an electric source from the switches. We discussed safety and how we do not touch electric products unless we have been told it is safe to use.
Reception Class - Parent Lunch
Reception Class had a wonderful lunch with their grown ups today! We had such a great turn out and the children loved sharing the experience with them.
Reception - English - The Leaf Man
In English, the children have been reading "The Leaf Man." They have been putting actions to new vocabulary and then choosing how they could adapt the story. Today they were able to draw pictures of a friend for Leaf Man and then use their phonics knowledge to label their work.
Pre-School-Literacy-Penguin Making
The Pre-School children have been developing their fine motor skills this week. They have used the play dough to roll, press and shape into a penguin. The children rolled the body and splatted the dough to shape eyes, a nose or used the enhancements to create wings and feet. The children have been building up muscle strength in their fingers.
Year 6 English Comparing Two Different Songs
Year 6 have been listening to two different songs, they have been analysing Big Yellow Taxi, by Joni Mitchell and What a Wonderful World, by Louis Armstrong. The children then compared the two sets of lyrics and discussed the message the lyrics were trying to get across to them. We then had a class discussion on which one we preferred and why? Most of the class prefered the Big Yellow Taxi over What A Wonderful World since it was a more upbeat and catchy song.
Nursery - Maths - Investigating Big And Small
In Nursery class this week we have started looking at opposites. The first opposite we investigated was big and small. The children used their good looking skills to find and match two objects on the table that varied in size, they were then tasked with vocally labelling each item as big or small. The children then enjoyed taking part in this activity with a friend during independent learning, taking turns to find the first object for the other friend to match. Nursery class showed a good awareness on big and small, well done everyone!
Year 2 - PE - Sports Skills
On Monday ten children from Year 2 took part in a Sports Skills Festival at St Bedes. It was great fun!
Year 2 - English - Playground Games
In English we have been reading and analysing the instructions for playground games. We then made up our own games in small groups.
Year 3 - Art - Using Charcoal
In Art, Year 3 have continued looking at the different ways they can use charcoal. They drew around their hands using light and dark lines then used their fingers to smudge the charcoal to form a shadow. After smudging the charcoal they drew a picture of an animal using the charcoal on their fingers.
Year 1 - English - Freeze Frames For The Story Zog
In English, Year 1 has been re-imagining the story of Zog. They have come up with new characters and settings, following the structure of Zog. Today they acted out some freeze frames in order to learn the order of the story.
