Numberfit Fun in Year 4
As part of our mental maths sessions we are taking part in the Numberfit sessions linked to the #Globalchallenge2023. The children complete fun challenges linked to multiplication and fitness in order to take part in the challenge.
Reception- Police Officer Visit
This morning we had a visit from our local PCSO’s Gail and John and ‘Darren’ the police teddy bear. We were ready with lots of questions to ask them and we also answered some amazing questions they had for us. We were taught all about ‘stranger danger’ and how to keep ourselves safe. We also got to hear the police officers on their radios and we got the opportunity to try on some of their uniform, which we found out was very heavy. We all really enjoyed our visit.
Reception - British Sign Language
This morning, Reception children enjoyed a British Sign Language session. We discussed when we might need to use sign language. Some children remembered signs that they used in nursery, at home or in Worship. We learned the BSL signs for hello, how are you, good morning, good afternoon and good evening. The children enjoyed practising signing to each other.
Year 4 English - Play scripts - Storyboards
In our English session this morning we have been preparing a story board for our play scripts that we will write next week. We have focused this on our class novel - The Firework Makers Daughter and Chapter 5 which takes place in Razvani’s grotto.
Year 1- Sound of the day!
Today’s sound of the day ‘z’. We sounded out lots of words with the ‘z’ sound. Super sounding out year 1!
Year 2 - Easter Story
In year 2, we have been looking at the Easter story and the symbols relating to Easter. We created our very own spinning wheel detailing the key moments of the Easter story.
Online Safety: Safe and Healthy Online Habits
It’s almost Red Nose Day! In support of Comic Relief, our #WakeUpWednesday guide has got some top tips on helping children and young people to build their digital resilience – minimising the impact of #OnlineSafety threats.
Year 4 - Numberfit Times Tables Challenge
Year 4 are doing a great job of completing the times tables challenges on the Numberfit programme. It certainly got our hearts pumping, as well as our brains working.
Year 5 French - Names of Food and Drink
Today in French we have carried on learning the names of food and drink. The children were able to sort all the items into the correct categories.
Year 2 - Testing the use of everyday materials
During our science lessons we have been looking at the uses of everyday materials. During our science experiment we were testing how waterproof many materials are. We tested many materials and rated how water proof they were. After we had tested a variety of materials we looked at how to make materials waterproof. We used wax to rub that onto some materials and then re tested it to ensure it was waterproof.
Year 1- Science week live lesson
Year 1 watched a science farm live lesson as part of British Science Week. Our lesson was all about tractors and the materials they are made from and why they are made from that material. We had lots of questions to answer throughout the lesson all about materials. We also found out lots of interesting facts about farming life, plants and tractors!
Year 1 Science- Testing the strength of materials
So now it was time to test our houses. We used a jug of water to see if our houses were waterproof and a hair dryer to see if it could survive the hurricane. We loved creating and testing our houses to see which materials would be the most suitable in a hurricane.
