Year 1- Lunch time MUGA session
Year 1 had such a fun Muga session! Thank you to the sports leaders for planning such a fun lunchtime session!
Year 2 - Use of everyday materials
In year 2 we have been exploring the use of everyday materials. We took a trip to Whitehall park to see what materials we could find, what they were being used for and if they were fit for purpose. The children found lots of interesting materials being used at Whitehall park.
Year 3: Performing our own dialogue!
Over the past few weeks, Year 3 have been looking at the clip 'Soar'. The story begins with a young girl called Mara. A thirteen-year-old who dreams of one day becoming an airplane designer. But every day, she test flies her model airplanes in the fields behind her house and every day, they crash. She is feeling downhearted and wants to give up, until a young boy falls from the sky and changes everything! We have been discussing how even though there is no dialogue in the clip, we can still follow the characters and understand their journey. In this lesson, we started to create our own dialogue for the story in pairs! This was also a great opportunity for the children to practice their performance and drama skills! Next week, we will be planning and writing our own playscripts for 'Soar'.
Reception Forest Schools- Muddy Tuesday
On Tuesday we had a forest school session in our school grounds. The children were split into five groups with six children in each. Each team were given a pet log to build a shelter for. The children worked amazingly well together and showed great teamwork and co-operation. Each team successfully built a natural shelter for their pet.
Year 6 PSHE
This week in PSHE, year 6 discussed their online activity and strategies we can all use in order to stay safe online.
Year 6 P.E.
Year 6 have been exploring dribbling skills from a range of invasion games. They will continue to develop their skills in order to apply them to their own creative game in the future.
Year 6 History
In history, year 6 investigated whether it was necessary for evacuees to be evacuated during WWII. They also looked into whether the number of evacuees stayed the same during the war or whether it was dependent on circumstances.
Reception - Maths
We have been learning all about the number 6. We practised forming the number, showing 6 quickly in our ‘flashy fingers’ game and making 6 in all different ways using the part, part whole model. Well done Reception!
Reception- Our Forest School Restaurant
We built a shelter in our mud kitchen area. The children wanted to create a restaurant, they came up with dishes such as mud pie, pizza and spaghetti to serve in their restaurant. The children also asked for some chalk to create their own chalkboard menu. They then invited children in and served them their creations. What brilliant imaginative play reception!
Year 1- Art
In art we’ve been looking at drawing and colouring with different media. We’ve used 2D shapes to draw around before adding colour using paint, pastels, charcoal, pencils and felt tips to make our artwork look effective.
Year 5- P.S.H.E- Negative Effects of Social Media
In PSHE, Year 5 have been discussing the positives and negatives of social media by exploring the impact that online content can have on a person's well-being. We discussed apps, privacy settings, cyber-bullying, trust, friendship, and respect and looked at different scenarios. The children agreed that it was important to have a small circle of friends which whom you know, trust, and enjoy spending time with. In small groups, the children thought of activities a person can take to look after their well-being with a balance of online and offline activities.
Year 3 Science
Year 3 have been looking at different types of rock formations, how they are made and where they can be found. During this lesson we focused on sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. These were compared to recognised chocolate bars, one had air particles inside, while the other had formed layers. They then went on to categorise these rocks onto a chart.
