Year 2 - Computing
During Junior Jam this week, the children have been building on their knowledge of Blockly from previous learning. The children had a really fun session this week as they explored logical thinking and how algorithms work to create software such as games. They really enjoyed playing games and seeing how those algorithms worked to create fun, engaging and exciting games.
Year 5 - Steel Pans
Today, Year 5 have been playing and experimenting making music with the steel pans. The children have been learning to create different sounds depending on where on the steel pan is hit and using that knowledge to create their own tune.
Reception- Rolling a ball.
In P.E this morning we have learnt a special word. “Aim” was the special word we learnt and we spoke about the meaning of aim. We learnt how to aim for the place we want our ball to go. We rolled the ball and bounced the ball to our partners with control.
Year 4 - Linking Schools: Poems
The class are LOVING our linking work. We have a couple of pieces ready to send to St Matthew’s now, including these poems we’ve been working on. We have been thinking about the things we love and the things that make us unique. We hope Kestrels Class enjoy reading them.
WOW Group Worship: Respect and Tolerance
Well done to our fantastic WOW Group, who led their first whole-school worship this year today. In recognition of Inter Faith week, they talked about respecting each other’s differences and they taught us about tolerance and how we can show it to one another.
Rev Ben’s Worship: Samuel and David
This week in Rev Ben’s Worship, we learned the story of Samuel, Jessie and David. We talked about the qualities God looks for in a king and the importance of having a kind heart.
Reception-Den building
For the second part of our forest school session we headed back to school to have a go at den building. Just look at these amazing dens they have created!
Reception- Bug hunt
For the first part of our forest school session we headed out of school and up to Jacks Key to go hunting for mini beasts. We found beetles, snails, slugs and lots more.
Year 5 - Debt Awareness Visit
Today in Year 5 we had a visitor who discussed the important issues regarding debt awareness. The children worked really hard looking at the difficulties people go through regarding money and ways in which we can save money. The children looked at debt in lots of detail and discussed the difference between good and bad debt. Year 5 discussed each of them in great detail and completed module one on debt awareness.
Year 2 - Maths
This week in maths we continued to practise our addition. Today we consolidated our work on adding through 10. This can be tricky when you have to add past 10 but our games help us to keep practicing. We discovered the key to making it easier is ensuring we know our number bonds to 10. We will move on to subtracting next week.
Year 3- English- Story prediction activity- 'The Last Bear'
In English today, the children made predictions based on the cover and title of 'The Last Bear' book. They made predictions about who the characters might be, what themes the story could have, where it takes place, and what genre it falls into. Following this, Year 3 explored the map of Bear Island. Initially sceptical about its existence, we researched on Google, and the children were fascinated to discover that Bear Island is situated within the confines of the Norwegian and Barents Seas.
