Thank you to everyone who has sent in some big boxes for us (we can always use more REALLY BIG ONES!). We've changed our home corner so that the children are just using boxes and other resources to make the things they need for the their role play! On Friday they were pretending to be pirates, using the boxes as boats and making swords and outfits! Who knows what they will choose to play as today!

CUP STRING PHONES
Today, year 4 made cup string phones. They explained how the sound travels from their mouth through the bottom of the cup, along the string and into the opposing cup. Ask your child to tell you about how they made them and what challenges they completed!

To finish our Learning Challenge topic - Is the weather always wonderful? - Year 1 have worked in small groups to present their own weather reports.
They had to write their own short scripts and decide who was going to talk about the weather in the different parts of The United Kingdom. Also, they showed their understanding of the weather by using a range of weather words all about England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
They worked well in their teams and had great fun.
Well done Year 1!

Is the weather always wonderful?
Year 1 have been learning all about the different types of weather and the seasons of the year this half-term.
For their home learning they were asked to produce a creative project all about the seasons of the year.
We had some very creative designs and ideas. Thank you to all the children (and their families) who created some wonderful home learning projects.
Henry and Gavin received a prize each for their creative designs - well done.
Take a look at our home learning - we are very creative in Y1!

This half term, Y1 have been developing their food technology skills in DT by designing and making fruit kebabs.
We have been:
*learning about the different food groups
*finding out how much of each food group we should eat using the Eat Well Plate
*learning about seasonailty - which fruits can we get at which times of year and where do they come from?
*using our senses to describe the appearance, taste and texture of different fruits
*developing our data handling skills by creating a tally chart and bar graph to show which was the most and least popular fruits from our taste testing
*learning how to cut foods in different ways: the fork secure, the claw grip and the bridge hold - choosing the most appropriate one for the type of fruit being cut
*designing our own fruit kebab - thinking about fruits that we like and that would look nice when presented together
*combining our skills by making our kebab - and filming it (using clear instructions, like a cookery video) for half term's computing unit of work
*writing an evaluation about our finished product - saying what we liked and what we would change next time
Mrs. Roberts was very impressed with how we used our knife and fork to show the different ways of cutting we had been taught.
We had lots of fun and loved eating our fruit kebabs at the end!

Year 4 and 5 DT Workshop
We had a fantasic time exploring our skills for design and engineering through our DT experience day. The children learnt about motors, gears, pulleys, levers and sensors by creating a motorised lock to control water levels with sensors and their own robotic alligators which move in response to motion.
SCIENCE WORKSHOP WITH MR BOWDEN
Date: 4th Feb 2020 @ 8:51am
During Science Week, Foundation Stage and KS1 enjoyed an exciting workshop with real life scientist Adrian Bowden! The children had a go at predicting, testing, measuring, observing, classifying and recording while taking part in different investigations.

Science Week 2020
This week all of our classes have been focussing on a science topic.
Year 1 - Animals inc Humans
Year 2 - Animals inc Humans
Year 3 - Forces and Magnets
Year 4 - States of Matter
Year 5 - Forces
Year 6 - Light
Children have been observing changes, finding patterns, classifying and identifying, researching and performing all kinds of interesting, fun and crazy experiements!
Speak to your child and ask them what they have learnt this week.
We hope you've enjoyed it!
Date: 31st Jan 2020 @ 3:53pm
Y6 carried out an investigation to see 'How shadows change when the distance between the light source and the object changes?'

Take a look at our finished art work.
Date: 31st Jan 2020 @ 11:30am
We've been performing lots of different experiments, from the fun mentos and coke, to seeing what melts the ice the fastest! Ask us about the amazing "jumping colours" as well!
Science Experiments with Adrian!
Date: 31st Jan 2020 @ 11:18am
We've had a fantastic morning performing some different experiments with Adrian. We've been finding out about materials that float or sink! Seeing which shape rolls the best! And which material is the most "absorbent".
We've learned 5 very important scientific words: predict; test; measure; classify and observe. Can you remember what they all mean?
Science Investigation and Senses Walk
Date: 28th Jan 2020 @ 5:13pm
Year 1 - Investigation: Who will have the biggest feet?
We have worked with a partner to make predictions. Then we have discussed why someone might have bigger feet / larger hands / long legs or smaller feet / small hands or short legs.
Year 1 – Our Senses: Five Senses Walk
We have been exploring our five senses outside. We discussed what we could see, hear, taste, touch and smell … it was very interesting.

Science Week!
Today's assembly was all about Science Week! Mr Leather talked to the children about how important Science is and what life would be like without science or scientists. The children discussed what it would be like without electricity, without plastics, without modern medicines or modern engineering such as airplanes and cars.
Mr Leather performed two fun experiments for the whole school. One was called 'the floating tea bag' and the other was called 'the upside down glass'. Both were great fun and the children have been challenged to write a scientific explanation of how the experiements worked!
We look forward to hearing your answers!!
Date: 27th Jan 2020 @ 2:01pm
Our investigation question for today was:
'Which objects produce the darkest shadows?'
Date: 27th Jan 2020 @ 12:03pm
For our start to Science Week we have been learning all about ‘The Human Body’. This morning, we have sang Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. Then we danced to The Skelton Song. We played ‘Simon Says’ and then played a game where we had to point to different parts of our partner’s bodies. Miss Burns drew around Evie-Mae and we all worked together to label the different parts of the body diagram.
We have used mirrors to look closely at our facial features. Then, we had to draw and label our facial features on a blank face template.
We have had a fun start to Science Week in Year 1.

PATHS
In our Paths lessons, Year 4 have been exploring peer pressure. We've been given a number of scenarios that we may find ourselves in one day and discussed how we could resolve them. The children had lots of great ideas and tried to solve their problems by doing the right thing but also trying not to fall out with their friends.
Well done, Y4!
Date: 20th Jan 2020 @ 8:01pm
In our PATHs lessons we have been learning all about 'Doing Turtle' and how this can help us in many situations.
We know to:-
Stop
Breathe
Turtle
and say 'The problem is ...'
We have also been thinking about OK Chocies and NOT OK Choices.
Today, we had to work as a team to complete the challenge: Which team could keep the balloon in the air the longest?
Team One managed 20 seconds - Well Done! It was great fun!
Date: 14th Jan 2020 @ 4:56pm
In Year 1 we have been learning all about Place Value - we have used lots of practical equipment to help us to understand 2 digit numbers.
We have made Number Maps to show our understanding.
Date: 10th Jan 2020 @ 4:11pm
In Year 1 today we have been talking about The Eat Well Plate and learning which food groups we should eat more and less of. We know that to be healthy we should try and eat a balanced diet including at least 5 pieces of fruit or vegetables.
We talked about making a fruit kebab as a healthy snack. Mrs Roberts showed us some different fruits: we talked about which part we eat and where in the world they come from.
After that we tasted each one and thought about: What does it look like? What does it taste like? How does it feel? Did we like it?
Then we voted which was our favourite fruit; we used this information to create a bar graph. This will help us to decide which fruits to put in our design next week.

The Mayans were one of the first civilsations to discover chocolate. To start our new topic we have had a great afternoon tasting a range of chocolates.
Date: 9th Jan 2020 @ 3:52pm
To conclude our topic on the Ancient Greeks, Year 3 worked in groups to research and create a poster to present to the class. Each group were given a different topic to research and they used their own knowledge of what they had learnt, books and ipads to make their poster informatative. The finished posters and presentations were amazing.
