This week Nursery are learning about Lunar New Year. We have been making dragons and trying to pick up pom poms with chop sticks. We are also going to be going around the world to see how it is celebrated in different countries.

Year 6 have been learning all about light. We spoke about both reflection and refraction. We worked as security guards to position mirrors in order to reflect the lasers and protect the vaults. We have also observed the phenomenon of refraction and can explain why this happens. 

This week Year 3 started their English topic by become researchers. We worked together to read information about ‘Woolley Mammoths’ and ‘Sabre-toothed tigers’. 🐯 🦣. We highlighted information from the text that we could use in our box up. We thought about the animals diet, characteristics and interesting facts. 

This week, year 5 have finished their art topic. We used hot glue and fabric to batik and then painted once the fabric was dry. We then added detail such as stitching on buttons and ribbon.

This week in computing we developed our understanding of sequencing by having the opportunity to to combine motion and sound in one sequence. We learnt how to use costumes to change appearance of a sprite, and backdrops to change the appearance of the stage. 

Nursery have started storytelling week by learning all about worms. We enjoyed going on worm hunts outside, some of us even tried worm charming by stamping our feet to make the worms come to the top of the soil! We have also been practising using super sentences to talk about what we have learnt. Well done Nursery!
