Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
This week year 2 had a visit from Anthony Reddy. He did 2 workshops with us. 1 group looking at applying bonds to 10 to numbers up to 100 and the other group looked at finding the difference between numbers. We used fun practical games and learned some songs to help us remember techniques.
This week in Year 4 we have begun our new cycle with a Shakespeare Sonnet. The children explored Sonnet 18 and unpicked some of the Elizabethan language such as; thou, hath, thee and grow’st. Did you know Shakespeare invented some of the words we use today such as; bedazzled, watchdog and fair-play?
Reception have sculpted different pieces of art, inspired by Lorien Stern.
This week, Year 6 were visited by chefs who helped us to cook our own meals from scratch. We got to watch them cook and even try some of the food! We had a great time and are looking forward to using the ingredients to make our own at home.
This week has been science week. During lessons, Year 4 have taken part in different ‘sound’ experiments. They have investigated how we hear sounds, the pitch of sound and sound vibrations.
This week in year 3 has been Science week, we have been exploring the materials that coins are made from to decide if they are magnetic and using magnets to test our theory.
This week has been British Science Week and Year 1 have been emerged in our science learning.
They had a very special visitor called Nurse Rachael, who told them all about her very interesting career as a nurse. The children asked lots of brilliant questions and learnt so much. It was very inspiring.
Year 1 also conducted experiment about suitable and non suitable materials that can be flushed down the toilet. They used bottles of water and tested whether materials broke down.
This afternoon we have shared all our brilliant science learning with Daisy Bank in a special celebration assembly.
This week year 2 have been learning about shape. They have done some brilliant work identifying sides and vertices but they have particularly impressed us with their work on symmetry. We used a range of methods to find lines of symmetry on different shapes including placing mirrors and folding.
Nursery had the best time sharing stories during World Book Day. They loved listening to their adults reading a story as well as reading with Year 4.
Year 6 have been busy creating their CAMs toys. They thought really carefully about their design, selected the CAM they wanted to use and sawed the dowels so they fit perfectly. We are really happy with the final results!
