This week our children enjoyed problem solving using the part part whole model.

n topic this week, we ordered the photographs chronologically from Amelia Earhart’s photo album. We had to work as detectives and look closely at her face in the photographs. Here are some photographs from our lesson:
Learning all about food miles
Today we learned what food miles are. Then, we created a harvest plate and labelled how many miles the food has traveled to reach our plate in the UK.Â
Year 2 Flight Cafe
We want to say a big thank you to all the parents/carers who came to our Flight Cafe this week. The children enjoyed designing their own aeroplanes!

At Queen’s Hill, we care about climate change. Here is our version of the Earthsong, organised and arranged by our school ambassadors thanks to Torquay Girls’ Grammar School. These children are encouraging everyone to sign the following petition: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/272167
Making Greek Shields
Year 5 have greatly enjoyed creating their Ancient Greek ‘Hoplite’ shields this week, and are very proud that some of them have now gone on display! They are excited to start learning more about Ancient Greek civilizations and culture in the next few days…They have all worked hard on the latest aspect of the Respect Focus too – with many of them now becoming excellent at holding doors open for others.
RAF Visit Year 2
Year 2 had an exciting day with visitors learning about the history of flight. They enjoyed creating, testing and altering their own planes!
A New Display
Nursery and Reception children have been busy exploring different types of transport for the school topic ‘On The Move’ as they have been settling into school. We think you’ll agree their mark making looks fantastic! Make sure you check out the display outside Papillons Rouges.
‘On The Move’ Curriculum Day
Today at Queen’s Hill Primary School, pupils were treated to a day of transport-inspired activities to launch our new topic ‘On The Move’. Children got to have a go at fixing a car tyre, experience what it might be like to be on board an aircraft and found out more about train safety with a visitor from Network Rail.
Problem Solving in Maths
This week we have been using our problem solving skills in Maths. We worked hard to think of different ways we could use 5 colours for 3 balloons. We have also been looking at comparing numbers and using vocabulary such as; more than, less than, greatest, least and as many as.
