Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
This week, Year 6 have been looking at fraction, decimal, percentage equivalents. Today, we used the abacus to help us visualise these. They helped us to calculate some real tricky ones!
This week, year 5 did a science investigation to see which filter would be best to clean dirty water. We used a coffee filter, sieve and a sand filter. The coffee filter was the best because the holes in it were the smallest so let through the least amount of dirt!
This week Year 3 became animators in Computing. We created our own storyboards showing the character, settings and events that we would like to include in our own stop-frame animations. We the used onion skinning to help make small changes between frames.
This week, Year 6 have started designing their own websites. The children worked together to decide on the content of their website and who their target audience would be. We are really excited to see these come together!
This week, Year 6 started their new story “The Skeleton Woman”. They were tasked with writing a newspaper headline and short introduction all about it. We were so impressed with their pieces!
Nursery have been enjoying retelling the story, 'Little Bear' this week. We have been on a story walk outside pretending to be Little Bear looking for the honey. Well done Nursery!
This week in Year 3 we have started our new maths topic ‘Multiplication and Division’. We started off the week looking at groups of, in terms of multiplication and then moved onto arrays. We used concrete resources to represent our arrays and explained what we noticed. For example, we looked at how 5 x 2 can be represented as 5 rows of 2 or 2 rows of 5.
Year 4 have been investigating states of matter in Science. We have investigated whether all liquids will freeze and made comparisons between different substances melting points.
Our Science learning has continued this week and we have been learning about animals and their habitats. We considered why certain habitants are suitable for different animals and how their needs are met. We have also learnt about objects that are living, no longer living and have never living. It’s been a great week of Science learning!
In Maths this week we have been putting our number bond to 10 knowledge to the test! We have been focussing in addition when the ones add up to over 10. Children have had to move ones across to make a 10 then exchange this for a ten stick. It’s been very tricky but they have been very resilient (and enthusiastic!) Well done Year 2, we are very proud of your progress.
