Year 3 have been exploring different musical notes and vocabulary this term. They even had a go at writing their own this week.
They now know what a crotchet, minim and quaver is and are working hard on remembering the note values too.
As part of computing, year 3 were able to code and create their own bands on scratch! What a musical week!
Year 6 demonstrated fantastic teamwork and communication when peer teaching in their English lesson. This lesson was all about working together and generating vocabulary for our suspense narrative based on ‘The Curse of the Maya’. Children also came up with lots of figurative language for the main character’s senses. Each group moved around the room and added ideas or improved what was already there. The ‘Pupil Paparazzi’ then went and collected excellent examples that they wanted everyone to notice. Well done Year 6!
Year one have been doing some great learning in science! Last week we investigated why giraffes have big hooves by trying to push different sized objects into the sand. We also explored designing a menu and creating pizzas for animals depending on whether they were, herbivores, omnivores or carnivores.
Today we identified and named different body parts through playing different games and drawing round someone in the class then labelling the drawing.
Year 3 have been exploring programming as part of their latest computing unit.
Today they were able to explain that programming requires a start point and recognise that a sequence of commands can have an order.
They had great fun using scratch to support!
Year 3 had fun learning about hieroglyphics.
They wrote their own names in cartouches and cannot wait to show them in their assembly tomorrow!
We spent time in groups learning facts about different African animals. We learnt where they live, what they eat and some very interesting facts!
Year 4 kicked off their brand new science topic with a bang this morning as Mad Science led a fantastic workshop.
They learnt all about static electricity through the use of a Van de Graaff generator, which raised a few hairs!
Children were introduced to the terms ‘conductor’ and ‘insulator’ and used themselves as a pathway to allow electricity to flow and light up a bulb!
A big thanks to Mad Science for such an informative and engaging workshop this morning. We can’t wait to find out more about electricity over this half term!
Year 2 have kick started their ‘History of Flight’ unit with a whole day of flight related activities. The children made hot air balloons, had a paper areophane competition and even took a trip on Queen’s Hill Airlines! They will be learning all about aviation in History and English lessons this half term.
Year 3 explored artefacts and asked brilliant questions today!
They are having so much fun learning about Ancient Egypt!
