Reception Class - Things that Matter to us
This afternoon the children have been discussing what matters to them. They transferred these thoughts on to paper and they are bringing them home.
Online Safety - Monkey
With Omegle finally shutting down in late 2023, the top spot among video chat services is up for grabs – and Monkey has its eyes set on the crown. Randomly matching its users for 15-second conversations, the platform’s developers claim to have created a dynamic online space for people to make new connections and, potentially, even some new friends. Despite these innocuous-sounding intentions, however, Monkey has been criticised for moderation which may not be comprehensive enough to defend against the obvious dangers that unregulated, random video calls pose to the younger element of the site’s userbase. Our #WakeUpWednesday guide tells trusted adults what they need to know about Monkey.
Pre School - Chinese New Year
In Understanding the world we celebrated the Chinese New Year. In class we learnt that it is the year of the Dragon and how it is celebrated. We created dragon masks, lanterns and noodle dishes. We had lots of fun dancing to music with our masks and ribbon.
Year 2 - Making Marks to Music
Year 2 have enjoyed creating marks in response to the musical sounds /words they heard. Music creates emotions within us and it was interesting to make corresponding marks to the different types of sounds.
Reception Class - Bug Hunt
This afternoon, Reception class went on a bug hunt around the school grounds. We found an array of bugs including slugs, worms and a millipede. We observed the environment and explored under stones and equipment to find dark warm places that the bugs might like to live in. The children really thought about where the bugs might be and gave some great observational comments about what they discovered.
Two’s Room - Dear Zoo
We have had a good week so far in nursery. We have been looking at our story, Dear Zoo. We dressed up like the different animals and moved our bodies and made noises like the animals. We made animal footprints using the different coloured paints. We also made elephants which have long trunks and big ears! In our physical development room we have been practising our crawling and climbing skills. More fun to come!
Year 4 - Science - The Digestive System
In Science today we have been learning about the different organs, their functions and re-constructing the human digestive system.
Two’s Room - Exploring Outside
We had fun exploring the outdoor area and we found some wiggly worms and slugs.
Clubs cancelled
All clubs, except Dance club are cancelled tonight. Thank you
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.
