Year 4 Music - Using Rhythm Grids
Year 4 have been working hard this half term on their ability to respond to rhythm. We have been experiments with different tempo, and this week we created our own rhythm grids using symbols as a code for which actions we wanted to do.
Year 3 Science - Investigating How Distance Affects The Size Of Shadows
In science, Year 3 looked at how distance affects the size of a shadow. They used a torch to create a shadow of a cat against a whiteboard. By moving the torch away they discovered that the size of the shadow changed. The shadow got bigger the closer the torch got to the object and then smaller as it moved further away.
Reception Class - Maths - Matching and Making Patterns
The children first found the cards that had the matching pattern on. Then they needed to choose blocks of just 2 colours and make a recurring pattern with them.
Nursery - Computing - Can You Design A Cake?
The children in Nursery class have been working on their computing skills this week. They have learnt how to navigate software on purple mash to design a birthday cake. Using their fingers, hands and even noses, the children have been able to select different cake toppings and make marks of their choice on the screen, watching their creations develop as they drew.

Using images and working together to describe our unique ‘Room of Wonders’, inspired by the Nowhere Emporium.
Reception Class - Name Writing
The children have had a go at writing their name using their name card. I asked the children if they could identify any letters from their name, some children could. As the children were writing, we discussed correct pencil grip and I supported the children to achieve this. Some children could form some letters and some children made marks to represent the different letters in their name.
