Year 1- Creating a structure for testing
In Science this week we have created our own house made from different materials. We had to create a house that would be waterproof and strong enough to survive a hurricane. We used cardboard, tinfoil, cello tape, fabric, and cellophane.
Year 5- Religious Education- How does it feel to be victorious?
During our R.E. lesson this afternoon, we discussed the term 'Victory' as a starting point for our class discussion. Some of the things that came to mind were celebration, achievement, brave, joy, happiness and determination. The children then discussed what victorious meant to them and if victory and winning were the same thing. We then watched some of the greatest sports events. Many athletes hope to win, but they also strive to beat their personal best (PB) and so, even if they come last, if it is their personal best, they have been victorious.
Year 6 English
In year 6, we have been looking at the features of a non chronological report so that we can include them in our own writing and ensure we are writing for a purpose. This included the visible features and the choice of language used to set an appropriate tone.
Year 2 - Christopher Columbus
During our history lesson in year 2 we have begun to look at our second famous explorer, Christopher Columbus. We had a look a various pieces of historical evidence from the 1500’s to work out what Christopher Columbus was most famous for. The children were great at using their detective skills to work out what he explored and why he became a world wide name.
Year 3 Maths
Year 3 have been using lollipop sticks to help group numbers in their maths and notice any remainders. We made triangles to represent divisions of 3 and squares to represent divisions of 4. Well done Year 3!
Year 4 - Investigating Conductors and Insulators
Happy British Science Week from Year 4. In science this week we have been finding out which materials make good electrical conductors by adding them to our series circuits. Tin foil and steel made great conductors.
Year 4 - Linking Schools Zoom Meeting
The class have loved meeting their link class today. We played games with our linking friends, like Would You Rather...? , Red Card Green Card and Draw a Picture in which children had to draw a picture on their whiteboards while it was balanced on the top of their heads. Thank you St Matthews- we can't wait to meet you soon!

British Science Week Assembly
This week is British Science Week and the theme is ‘Connections’. The children have enjoyed an exciting assembly explaining about the events for the week and also saw some live experiments take place in the hall, as well as some amazing videos of simple experiments they can carry out at home with the help of an adult. They will be voting for their favourite experiment in their classes this week, which will be carried out next week with their class teachers. There is a national poster competition to enter, lunchtime experiments and fun with our year 5 and 6 Science Club team and live online science lessons to take part in.
