What helps us to stay healthy?
Date: 12th Jan 2022 @ 4:09pm
Today we have been learning about staying healthy and the importance of washing our hands.
We have taken part in a 'germ experiment' to understand how germs spread - especially if we do not wash our hands.
Some of the children said:-
* Germs can make you sick.
* Germs can make you ill.
We now understand how easily germs spread and why it is important to wash our hands.

Year 1 have had a great month preparing for Christmas! We have developed our art and design skills by making lots of different things to take home - decorations, cards and calendars. Then we enjoyed a visit for Father Christmas and had a class party!
Every day in December, our cheeky elf Buddy has been in our classroom doing funny things - it has made us smile alot and helped us to write some lovely notes to him!

Year 1 have started to think abouty what artists use sketch books for. We have learned lots of different skills in art this half term: using a variety of media (pens, pencils, paints, pastels) and skills (drawing, painting, colour mixing and printing. We have also looked at the work of the artist Louis Wain and thought about what it would be like if we 'jumped' into a piece of his work - we used the FANTASTICS to talk about what we would be able to see, hear, touch and feel; we then predicted what might happen next.

Year 4 are creating electronic Christmas cards. In order to create a Christmas-themed card, year 4 have explored different Christmas themes. After doing this, we created a mood board to help us match colours, find colour schemes and generate ideas for our cards.

ELECTRICITY WORKSHOP
Last week, Year 4 had a visit from a mad Scientist! The mad scientist showed the children anything and everything they would ever need to know about electricity. We explored how strong static electricity can be, investigated conductors and insulators, made circuits, discussed the dangers of electricity and much more!
The children were buzzing with excitement and even managed to teach the scientist a few things about electricity!

The Year 5 children enjoyed investigating materials to see which were good insulators this week. Super science skills were used to design their own investigations to see what materials were best for keeping their hot chocalate warm. They thought about different variables and how to keep their investigations fair. They definitely enjoyed drinking the hot chocolate in the end!

The Vikings!
On Friday, year 4 were lucky enough to have a visit from a real-life VIKING!!!
The children noticed that our classroom was a bit different to usual. It had animal skins hung up, giant horns, banners with Viking runes on and more. Viking Gary had come to speak to the children and show them lots of ancient artefacts from Viking times.
During the afternoon, we had an arts and crafts session where we created clay Viking lamps as well as performing a bit of roleplay as Viking warriors (using swords and shields!!)
The children had a great time and learnt lots!

The Eco Action Team have been very busy over the past few weeks. Along with Mr Brooks, they have built some planters using old pallets and filled them wirth compost and bulbs ready for the Spring. The crocus bulbs were given to school by the Rotary Club as part of their campaign to eradicate polio across the world.
The original planters were very overgrown and were in need to of a tidy up - they have weeded them ready for the Spring.
They have also carried out a litter pick on the field - especially after all the windy weather we have had recently.

Multiplication facts - 3's, 6's and 9's
During our maths lessons this week, Year 4 have been explictly learning about the 3 times table, the 6 times table and the 9 timestable. We have looked at different strategies when working out our answers. This can involve different timestables that we are more confident with such as using the 3's to help work out the 6's and the 10's to help work out your 9's.
Today, we used those strategies to play multiplication board games. The board games only had the 3, 6 and 9 timestables on them in order to help the children practice.
