Year 1 PE- Rolling a Ball
Year 1 have been learning how to roll a ball with accuracy. First, we looked at rolling a ball to a partner with our arm beside us, then rolling a ball with to a partner between our legs. We discussed which one allows us to be more accurate. Finally, we practised rolling a ball with accuracy through a target (between two cones).
Year 5 - History
Today, Year 5 had a role of detectives trying to prove that the legend Theseus and the Minotaur may actually have been a fact. They looked at what evidence might have survived ( images) that were part of the story and put the pieces together.
Year 5 - Super Scientists - Gravity Activity with Paper Clips
This week in Science, Year 5 have been experimenting how the Earth’s gravity is what holds us and other things to the ground. We talked about how the magnetic force between the paper clip and magnet were stronger than the pull of the Earth’s gravity on the paper clip, so the paper clip was able to remain in the air rather than fall back to the ground.
Year 6 Science
Year 6 investigating how the heart moves blood around the body.
Year 6 Geography
Investigating how changes can influence birth and death rates.
Year 6 R.E.
How does the Seder meal help Jews to remember the festival of Passover?
Year 6 P.E.- balancing
Developing sequences and using counter tension and counter balances.
World Book Day
Developing setting descriptions using ‘Journey’ by Aaron Becker as a stimulus. Using printing skills to produce a collaborative piece of art work to illustrate our chosen setting.
Year 4 French - Le Visage
We had great fun playing Guess Who in French this week. The children described one of the characters in French and their partners had to guess which one they were describing. Their pronunciation? C’est formidable!
Year 6- Gymnastics
Year 6 have been working on their balancing skills in PE.
Year 2 Maths: Recognising 2-D and 3-D Shapes
Year 2 have been looking at 2-D and 3-D shapes today in maths. We explored the names of some 2-D and 3-D shapes and compared some of the shapes and their properties.
Year 2 Science: Waterproofing Experiment
This week in Science, Year 2 explored the work of Charles Macintosh, who invented waterproof fabric. We looked at how the properties of materials can be changed, by completing a waterproofing experiment with felt and wax. We found that by rubbing the wax onto the piece of felt and melting the wax into the felt, this created a waterproof coating.
