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.

Daniela was an amazing estimator as she some of her estimates matched the measures! Well done!

States of Matter

Date: 29th Mar 2018 @ 4:19pm

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.

To end our topic on States of Matter, the children made their very own water cycle. The children enjoyed watching how the water cycle works.

Here are some photos.

A select number of boys from year 5 and year 4 participated in a football tournament today. The standard of play was fantastic. The boys did really well finishing 3rd in our group.

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.

We are looking forward to painting our creations once

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.

How does sound travel?

Date: 27th Feb 2018 @ 7:03pm

In our Science lessons, we have been learning about sound. We have been looking at how we hear sound and how sound travels. To identify how the pitch of a sound changes, we made pan pipes with straws and tried to change the pitch by adjusting the size of the straw. To help us understand how sound travels we made string telephones. We found out that if the string was tight we could hear better. Here are some pictures.

As a 'Final Ta Dah' to our LCC on the Stone Age the children made stewed fruit as they would have eaten at that time. They used lots of lovely berries, nuts and honey and then wrote instructions on how to make it. Most of them thoroughly enjoyed it; others were not so sure as seen in the pictures below!
