Year 2 RE: Pentecost
Our Year 2 class brought the story of Pentecost to life today! After learning about the arrival of the Holy Spirit, the children used their creativity to build incredible Lego models representing the wind, the flames, and the disciples sharing their message with the world. Such a fun, hands-on way to explore our RE theme. Fantastic teamwork and imagination, Year 2!
Year 4 Maths - Looking at Polygons
Year 4 have been looking at the different names and properties of polygons in our Maths lessons this week. We have used mirrors to find out how many lines of symmetry each polygon has and enjoyed finding lines of symmetry on different items around the classroom!
Year 6: Chip Party
In preparation for the leavers service, year 6 attended a "chip party" where they learnt songs, that they will be performing, and of course had chips too!
Year 6: Maths - Theme Park Challenge
As year 6 come to the end of their journey at primary school, they are completing a team challenge which uses all of their English, Maths and team work skills! The challenge is to design, advertise and budget for a working theme park.
Y1 - English - To Write a Prediction
Year 1 started their new English topic this week, The Last Wolf. The children went on the hunt for a wolf after Mrs Murray told us there had been reports of one on the loose! The children gathered clues, including a red cloak, an apple, a bin bag and a log. Using these, the children wrote a prediction of what they thought our story eould be about.
Year 2 Science: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Year 2 have started a new topic in Science about plant-based materials. We have deepened our knowledge of sustainability by considering the 3R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Miss Mulligan was extremely impressed with the creativity shown during the "trash to treasure" activity, where the children chose a piece of rubbish to redesign into a new useful product. Plastic bottles became bird feeders, cardboard boxes became bug hotels, old tights became teddies!
Year 3 - Maths - Finding Right Angles
Year 3 have been turning into maths detectives this week! The children have been exploring geometry by searching high and low for right angles right here in our classroom. Equipped with their trusty right-angle testers, they have been checking everything from the corners of their books to the edges of the whiteboard. It has been a fantastic way to bring our shape and space topic to life and see how maths connects to the world around us.
Year 3 - Science - Planning An Investigation
Year 3 have been busy working like real scientists this week! The children are currently planning an exciting investigation to find out if there is a link between our hand span and our grip strength. They have been discussing how to make it a fair test, predicting what might happen, and deciding how to measure their results accurately. We cannot wait to get hands-on with the testing phase next week and see if our predictions match the data. Stay tuned for the results!
Year 5 PE
In our PE lessons, we have been learning and practising our cricket skills. During one of our cricket lessons, we learned a new game. Everyone in Year 5 became very competitive and had lots of fun playing it.
Year 5 Picture News
In our Picture News lesson, we learned about Boyan Slat. Inspired by seeing plastic pollution while diving as a teenager, he founded The Ocean Cleanup to remove rubbish from the oceans and prevent more plastic from reaching rivers and seas. We discussed the importance of protecting our environment and how everyone can help reduce plastic pollution.
Year 5 Maths
In our maths lesson, we looked at decimal sequences and practised multiplying numbers by 10, 100 and 1,000. We explored how the digits move place value columns when multiplying and used this knowledge to solve a range of problems and challenges.
Year 4 History - How did the Maya settle in the rainforest?
A new History topic awakened Year 4's curiosity this week, when we delved into the civilisation of the ancient Maya. Building directly on our previous geography topic about the rainforest ecosystem, the children were able to make brilliant real-world connections to understand exactly how this ancient civilization thrived.
