Year 5 - Cricket
Year 5 enjoyed their final cricket session, showing off the skills they’ve developed over the term. From quick catches to accurate throws, everyone demonstrated fantastic teamwork and enthusiasm. A great end to a fun season of cricket!
Year 4 DT - Seasonal Stockings
In our DT session this week we started our Seasonal Stockings . We focused on visual appeal and function. The children looked at lots of sample stockings , identifying which designs they preferred and why. We also highlighted different types of stitching and which is most suitable for their stocking for durability. We also gave the children time to select their felt colours for their design so we can begin to cut out the templates and create our own designs.
Year 5 - Square Numbers
Year 5 got hands-on with square numbers, building visual models to understand how these numbers are formed. Through arranging objects into perfect squares, they explored the patterns and concepts behind square numbers with enthusiasm and curiosity!
WOW Year Group Winners for October
A huge WELL DONE to Year 4 who gained the most walk to school badges for the month of October! It was great to see so many more children gaining their badges this month now we can take part in school through choosing to do the 1K A Day too. Thank you to parents and carers too for all of your support with this super initiative.
Reception: Bonfire and Firework Safety
This week the children in Reception have been learning all about Bonfire night. They learnt how Guy Fawkes planned to kill the king using gunpowder. His plan failed and we now celebrate Bonfire night to remember. The children have learnt how to keep safe around bonfires and fireworks. We then created bonfires using playdough and fireworks using pens, pegboards, sand and paint.
Reception: Muddy Monday
Today for Reception’s Muddy Monday session, the children walked to Jacks Key. To celebrate bonfire night, the children collected twigs, sticks and leaves to create their own bonfires. The children had to work together as a team and did a brilliant job.
Reception: Developing our Gross Motor Skills
Today our Reception children challenged themselves to climb trees. They used their muscles in their tummies, arms and legs to help them to safely climb the trees. Some of the children swang on the branches and balanced too. Well done for being so brave!
Lego Club
Everyone had a great time at our first Lego After School Club. It was lovely to have a mixture of ages all laughing, chatting and making together. We have some real Lego Masters. We will continue making more Lego models next week!
Remembrance Singing Worship
This morning in our singing worship we focused on songs of peace as we will be remembering all those who bravely gave their lives in the wars this week. We will also be thinking about people around the world who are still be affected by war and conflict and how we can help them. We will remember them!
Year 6 - PSHE
In PSHE, Year 6 continued their work on relationships. They found out that sometimes we encounter challenges in friendships and that we need to try our best to resolve those challenges. Year 6 provided some fantastic examples of advice and I was extremely impressed by the levels of maturity.
Year 6 - Dance
At the end of last week, Year 6 started their dance unit. A few of the children were a bit reluctant to begin with, but as the session progressed they really let themselves go and produced a fantastic routine in just their first session. Thank you Jess from Rothwell Arts for a fabulous first session!
Year 3- Science- Sorting and Classifying Food
Today, Year 3 scientists continued their exploration of nutrition, building on their knowledge from Year 2. They identified the five key food groups: carbohydrates, proteins, dairy, fruits, and vegetables. They learned that a balanced diet, incorporating foods from each group, is crucial for optimal growth and health. Carbohydrates provide energy, proteins repair and build tissues, dairy strengthens bones, and fruits and vegetables supply essential vitamins and minerals. To reinforce their understanding, the children sorted pictures of food into their food groups and explained the benefits of each. Through this experience, Year 3 developed their scientific skills of observation, classification, and data presentation.
