Y6 Science - Light
This afternoon Year 6 have had fun proving that light travels in a straight line in Science!
Reception RE - The Wise and Foolish Builders
This afternoon, some of Reception class have been exploring the story of 'The wise and foolish builders'. The children worked together to build two houses, one on the sand and one on solid ground. Once they had finished building I told the children that we were going to pour lots of water on top to mimic the storm in our bible story. They were very excited about this! But first we made our predictions on what we thought would happen to each house. They all thought the house on solid ground would be the strongest and the house on the sand would fall! So we put their predictions to the test! And sure enough the house on the sand did fall down, it wasn't strong at all. Meanwhile the house on solid ground didn't budge!
Y2 Computing - Databases
Year 2 finished their computing unit today. The children worked really hard using a database to answer questions.
Year 3 - Soil and Water Investigation
Today in Science, we investigated which type of soil absorbed the most water. We used our measuring skills using syringes, beakers and cylinders.
Year 2 - Computing
Y2 continued our 'Questioning' unit in computing today and the children created a binary tree. They worked very hard with a partner or in a small group, thinking of questions and sorting the animals. Well done Year 2, some super work!
Pre-School - Jasper’s Beanstalk
We have had a very busy week in Pre-School exploring and learning. We have been reading Jasper's Beanstalk and have been taking part in lots of different activities. We even created our very own beanstalk and made our own Jasper the cat masks.
Year 6 - Science - Designing Experiments
Today in Science, Year 6 have been designing experiments to predict if their heart rates will go up when they do still exercises. It's been a fun afternoon!
Reception - French - Names of Animals
In French this week, Mr Miakukila has been helping Reception class with animal names. So far have we have practised le chat, le lapin and le chien. Do you know which animals they are? Ask your little ones about these three animals when they get home, they might be able to name a few more too!
Y2 - Computing - Questioning
We have been working on our 'Questioning' unit in computing this term. Today we looked at yes/no questions and played a game similar to guess who.
Pre School - Goldilocks and the 3 Bears
This week in Pre School we have been looking at Fairy tales, the story we chose was Goldilocks and the three bears. The children came into a crime scene on Monday and had to investigate what had happened. As the week has gone on we have been learning about size and developing our cutting skills.
Y5 - Emperor Penguins
Y5 had an exciting afternoon on Friday. We explored how Emperor Penguins have blubber which keeps them warm - the children experimented by putting an uncovered hand into ice and then put their hand into a bag which had been lined with butter (blubber). The children were mesmerised by the difference and now have a great understanding of one of the many survival skills a penguin uses!
Year 3 - Science -Rocks
Today in Science, Year 3 tested the hardness of different rocks with a rub test. They ordered the rocks in groups and then recorded what they found out. We finally reported back to Miss Peckson our conclusion.
