MEDITERRANEAN FOOD TASTING

Date: 27th Apr 2018 @ 4:03pm

The Year 3 children enjoyed trying a variety of Mediterranean foods last week from Brioche from France and Chorizo from Spain to Ricotta cheese from Italy. They loved tasting and describing all the different foods, though they weren't so sure about the olives!

Why were the Ancient Egyptians Awesome?

Date: 27th Apr 2018 @ 3:56pm

To start our topic on the Ancient Egyptians we made bread and Papyrus paper. The Ancient Egyptians had bread with almost every meal. Year 4 mixed and kneaded the ingredients and then shaped their bread into their own unique shape. We had a mixture of plaits and rolls.

In the afternoon, we made Papyrus paper which we will be using to write like an Egyptian. It was a messy day but lots of fun.

Measuring Up!

Date: 27th Apr 2018 @ 7:48am

This week in Maths we have been looking at measuring in CM and M.

We started this lesson by estimating how big each part of our body was before actually measuring them to find out if we were correct.

Well done to all the children who completed this half term's home learning project. We had a number of board games as well as facts about states of matter and a very detailed poster of the water cycle.

Here are some photos.

Stay and Play in Foundation Stage.

Date: 20th Mar 2018 @ 8:48pm

We had lots of fun when our parents and carers came to Stay and Play.  The concept is to allow you to experience teaching approaches in the Early Years, observe your child in their classroom and take part in their learning with them.

Invasion of the Evil Peas

Date: 16th Mar 2018 @ 12:54pm

This week we had some Evil Peas come in and make a big mess in Foundation Stage! When the children came in they were shocked to find such a mess! (which they blamed on Mr Widdowson at first!) After checking the footage from the cameras we discovered that the mess was caused by some Evil Peas. All the children worked together to make traps to catch them and signs to warn them to stay away. The following night we caught some peas and luckily none have been back since!

Where are the rainforest?

We had a great time using salt dough to create a

continent map showing topography, rainforests, major rivers and counties.

they are dry.

 

What is the State of Matter?

Date: 11th Mar 2018 @ 7:21pm

To introduce our new Science topic 'States of Matter', we melted chocolate and made cornflake cakes. We tested how quick dark, milk and white chocolate melt and then observed the chocolate turning back into a solid. 

We also watched a balloon inflate with only yeast, sugar and water. 

We had lots of fun and enjoyed the cornflake cakes afterwards.

Pok-a-Tok

Date: 5th Mar 2018 @ 5:23pm

To end our topic on the Mayans, we held a Pok-a-Tok tournament. Pok-a-Tok is

an ancient Mayan team game. Pok-a-Tok is like a cross between volleyball

and basketball—except much, much more difficult to play. The object of

the game was for the two opposing side to try and hit the ball into a

hoop placed at both ends of the playing field.
