Over the last few weeks, Year 4 have been learning all about what makes a great speech. They were then set a task by Mrs. Suffield to help her decide whether she should move her family to Queen’s Hill or the centre of Norwich. Y4 have been working incredibly hard to collate their ideas and come up with a convincing argument for why Queen’s Hill is the best place to live. This afternoon, Y4 gathered in the hall to present their speeches to Mrs. Suffield.
Year 6 got to grips with using a micro:bit this week – a tiny programmable device that enabled children to understand how computers work and learn to code using the language of computers. They familiarised themselves with the device itself and the programming environment before creating their own programs. They then ran their programs on the device. We were impressed by everyone’s curiosity and concentration!
Year 3 had a great afternoon sampling and tasting different jam tarts.
They thought about the packaging, pastry and filling before giving it an overall rating.
Next week, they are going to design and bake their very own!
Year 6 participated in some great workshops in support of their upcoming move to high school. Our visitors were very impressed by their contributions and maturity.
Year 3 had a fantastic time at Whitlingham Adventure.
They tried paddle boarding and canoeing and also completed many different team challenges.
The children showed great grit and determination throughout the day and all were safe, ready and respectful. Well done Year 3!
Year 4 had a fabulous day at the Royal Norfolk Show today. They all began in the Discovery Zone, learning about the production of sugar beet in Norfolk, from preparing the soil all the way to what the sugar is used for. They were challenged to build the tallest possible tower of sugar cubes!
The children also enjoyed exploring many of the other attractions, collecting stickers and seeing how many freebies they could gather!
The highlight of the day for many was seeing the RAF Falcons parachuting display over the Grand Ring!
This week, we have been exploring sun safety. In RHE, we have been learning about how to keep safe in the sun and the effects of UV rays. In science, we learnt about processes involved with testing sunscreen and used UV beads to test the effectiveness of sunscreens with different factors. It helped us to understand the importance of wearing sun cream.
As part of our continuing geography topic looking at our local area, Year 4 went on a walking tour of Queen’s Hill this afternoon to assess whether the quality of the environment improved the closer they got to the woodland area. They rated 8 different streets on their appearance, safety, cleanliness and proximity to amenities.
This afternoon Year 2 met up with Year 3 to share their versions of ‘Julian is a Mermaid’. Year 2 were very excited to read their stories and show Year 3 all the hard work they had put into writing them.
Year 3 completed a water transportation investigation today.
They enjoyed making predictions, conclusions and setting up fair experiments.
