Today we looked at what our bodies need in order to survive. As part of this, we looked at the Eatwell plate and grouped foods into the correct groups.
We learnt that animals, including humans, need the right types and amount of nutrition and that they cannot make their own food; they get nutrition from what they eat.
Year 3 enjoyed learning about garden birds this morning. Many of them said they found it relaxing to listen to birdsong while they sketched and bird watched. Here are a few photos.
In Mandarin this week, Year 5 looked at the Chinese New Year celebrations.
They enjoyed recreating the traditional dragon dance and exploring other festivities.
Year 3 are enjoying learning about the Ancient Egyptians.
We learnt about artefacts and tried to use our knowledge of hieroglyphics to help us look at the artefacts in detail!
We had a wonderful Christmas dinner today and wore the hats we made for morning work. Thank you to the school cooks!
Year 3 went to the cathedral today for an advent/nativity experience. We learnt all about Isaiah, Mary, Joseph, shepherds and the kings. The children were safe, ready and respectful and enjoyed dressing up, doing craft and seeing different items.
We sorted magnetic and non-magnetic objects today. We had fun investigating and exploring the school for objects!
We looked at advantages and disadvantages of living in a city.
We looked at permission in RSE today. We discussed different scenarios and explored why it is important to ask for permission.
We are using Anthony Browne’s Hansel and Gretel in English over the next few weeks. Today we finished reading the story and created text maps to help us recall some of the key parts. We are going to be working on writing our own fairytale based on this story.
