Year 1 Easter Gardens
This week Year 1 went to the woods to create Easter Gardens. We have been thinking about why The Cross is important to Christians and learning about the Easter story. The children confidently applied all of this knowledge to create some wonderful Easter Gardens! Great work Year 1!
Police Visit
Reception were very excited to have the police come and visit us at school today. The children have been learning about ‘People who help us’ and asked them lots of questions about what their day to day job looks like. The children got to try on some uniform, sit in the police car, listen to the siren and even got a police themed sticker!
Outdoor Learning in Year 6
Over the past two weeks Year 6 have been learning about butterflies. They all had some great questions and wanted to learn more about different species of butterflies! Children had a trail quiz to complete and were challenged to find out the answers to their questions. Upon their trail, they found a peacock butterfly in the grass. They were able to get really close up to it and see the beautiful colours of its wings. Some children even got to hold it!
Year 3 computing
This afternoon, Year 3 created their own tree diagrams as part of their computing unit.
They thought about yes/no questions and showed real grit and determination.
Sheep Week!
Last week we welcomed sheep to Reception and Queen’s Hill! The children helped to look after them, made sure they have enough hay and water and helped to feed the ewe. As the sheep became more comfortable in the field, some children even got to stroke the lambs. Alongside learning about the sheep and farming, they have also been learning ‘Mary had a little lamb’ and made a personalised song using their name and pet or animal.
Everyone at school was very sad to see Baarbara, Baarbie and Baarnaby leave us!
Year 2 Maths
Today Year 2 have been applying the multiplication and division skills they have been practising in lessons and became tiny teachers! They worked together in pairs to mark a Maths quiz Miss Hunter had completed and fixed any mistakes they found.
Outdoor Art y5
Last week in year 5, we started to learn about cityscapes and landscapes. We started by learning about two artists: Vanessa Gardiner and Phil Dean, the Shoreditch sketcher. This week, we were inspired by their work to go outside and create our own multi-media cityscapes of Queen’s Hill.
Trip to Pets at Home
We have been learning about pets and how to look after animals. Today year 1 went on a visit to Pets at home to see some pets and find out more about how to care for animals. We found toys, food and and pet beds. We also saw some very cute rabbits, rats and even a bearded dragon!
Dentist visit
Last week we had Marijka from John Plummers dental surgery visit our Reception and Year 1 children. She taught us about the different tools they use at the dentist, why we visit the dentist and how to look after our teeth. We learnt about making healthy choices for our teeth and about brushing them twice daily for 2 minutes.
