Year 3- R.E-The Easter Narrative: A Journey of Mixed Emotions
This afternoon, Year 3 began their new unit, Is the Cross a Symbol of Sadness or Joy? We started with a quick quiz about the Easter story and were reminded of our Questful characters as we prepared for our journey. Following the arrow to show our direction of travel, we looked at the key events of Holy Week, including Palm Sunday, the Temple, the Last Supper, and the Crucifixion. The children discussed the different emotions people experienced throughout the story and shared what they would like to find out on their quest.
Year 4 History - The Burial at Sutton Hoo
In our History lesson this week we were looking at Anglo Saxon artefacts and the burial ground at Sutton Hoo. The children were presented with eight artefacts and they had to use inference skills to develop their ideas of what they thought they were, what they were made from and how they may have been used.
English - Using Inverted Commas in Year 4
Using our class novel, Year 4 wrote a piece of dialogue between two characters for their innovated piece of writing. They also remembered that ‘said’ is dead and had to use a variety of synonyms to improve their final pieces.
Hockey Skill Development in Year 4
In our third hockey session we focused on mobility, puck/ball control, and tactical awareness. The children also developed the key skills which included (crossovers, edge work, speed), stick handling (dribbling, faking), passing (accuracy, receiving), and shooting (power, accuracy). We then went into small sided games which the children loved!
Year 2 - Science Week - The Big Farming QUESTion Show
Year 2 took part in webinar where we learned about some of the science involved in farming. We learned that cow poo is a microhabitat where some creatures such as dung beetles live.
Choir - Concert Practice
Choir have been working really hard on polishing their performance in preparation for the Let's Go Sing concert at Planet Ice next week. The children have worked really hard to remember the lyrics and actions for a range of different songs and are now excited to perform to a live audience. We can't wait to see them shine!
Reception Science Week - Experimenting with Ice
For Science Week, Reception have been experimenting with ice to see how it can change from a solid to a liquid. We based our Science lesson around The Evil Pea from Supertato, where the children had to help free the vegetables from the ice using different tools or equipment. We helped to free the vegetables by breaking the ice, using warm water to melt the ice and by pouring on salt to dissolve the ice. The children loved observing the changes as the vegetables were freed from the blocks!
Year 5 - PE
We continued to develop our football skills this afternoon by playing a variety of skill based activities in small groups. The children improved their dribbling skills by considering the space around them and moving new directions depending on the position of other children. Then we worked in pairs to dribble between cones before passing to a partner, with a focus on close control and accuracy. We finished by combining dribbling and shooting.
Year 5 - Computing
In Computing, Year 5 learned how to create character movement for an animation. The children first drew 3D shapes on their whiteboards and then made a sequence of shapes in the Animation app to help create forward motion.
Year 5 - French
In French, Year 5 continued on the topic of food. Having revised vocabulary for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the children then learned how to link times of the day to specific meals. They practised telling the time in French, using phrases such as ‘Three o’ Clock’ and ‘half-past’ and then used written and spoken sentences to describe what they eat at those times.
Science Week - Year 2
This Science Week, we have been thinking about curiosity and asking lots of questions like can you pick up an ice cube without using your hands? With the help of some salt to lower the temperature of the water, we managed it!
