Class of 2017

Today Year 4 braved the weather (we had rain, wind, sunshine and a bit of hail!) to do our geography!  We have been learning about field work and today we did some of our own linked to our topic of "The Local Area".  We learnt that geographers carry out surveys to get information and so we did a…

We have been investigating what happens to solids when they are heated or cooled. We have heated chocolate, butter, wax, ice, jelly, bread and an egg to see whether they changed state and we recorded our results.

We have been looking at information pages in different magazines and finding the key features. We used post-it notes to identify headings, subheadings, labels, captions, facts, questions and key vocabulary. We are going to use these key features when we write our own information page about the…

We have been looking at solids, liquids and gases and their properties. We had lots of fun using the Easi-scopes to look at magnified particles in ‘solids that behave like liquids’. 

Today in Year 3, we have been investigating what happens to a shadow when the light source moves further away.

The children worked in small groups using torches to cast shadows and rulers to measure the heights of the shadows.

We found out that when the light moves further away the shadow…

Today in Year 3, we have begun making our moving monster toys.

We will be using pneumatic systems to make our monsters move.

Come back soon to see our finished monsters.

This afternoon, Year 3 were searching for light sources around school. We looked in our classroom, the creative room, the hall and the computer suite. We found out the computer suite had the most light sources despite it being the smallest room we searched. We made tallies of the light sources and…

This afternoon, Year 3 were practicing their yoga poses to stretch their bodies and relax their minds. Can you spot the cat pose, kite pose and bee pose? 

Year Two have been working very hard to improve their letter formation in class.  Here we have our first winners of the Golden Pencil Award!  Huge to congratulations to all five of you (including the child not pictured), you are now ready to start joining your letters.

Look at our fabulous finished puppets!!!

In class over the last couple of weeks we have been learning about shape and today we were very lucky to be joined by Elijah's parents.  They came into school with a big box of polydrons so we could learn more about 2D and 3D shapes.  They taught us some very complicated shape names like a…

After exploring lots of other types of puppets, we decided to design and make our own hand puppets.  Take a look at our pictures to see all the things we had to do throughout the designing and making process.  Mrs Cross was really impressed with our skills and I'm sure you will all…
