Year 3 Music
We had fun in music today recapping different musical notes and rhythms. We had time to improvise with instruments from the music trolley and got to perform in front of the class!
Being Historians in Year 4
After our successful Roman day, we started our learning about the Romans with a research lesson. The children worked in groups and used books and iPads to research the question ‘Why did Emperor Claudius invade Britain?’.
Then the children presented their findings to the class.
Thunderstorm bottles
In Y5 we have been identifying emotions and discussing how we can manage them. We made ‘Thunderstorm Bottles’ by filling a bottle with water and adding in a range of craft materials and paint. We can then use these whenever we feel angry or anxious about something by shaking the bottle. The swirling water and added craft items represent an angry storm, demonstrating how our anger can stir up inside of us. After a few minutes, we think of something that we like doing to help us feel calm. Finally, putting our bottles down and watch the angry storm calm down as we ourselves calm down.
Year 3 Maths Fun
We practised our addition with Miss Peek today. We first added to 10 and then challenged ourselves to 30. We had so much fun!
Some of us worked with other teachers to complete problem solving activities too!
Year 3 Victorian Toys
Year 3 had so much fun today creating jack-in-the-boxes. We showed creativity and grit and determination!
Roman Day in Year 4
In Year 4, we started Week 3 with a Roman day, to introduce our new topic. The children and adults came to school dressed as Romans. We had Roman themed lessons all day, including making Roman shields, Roman numerals, gladiator top trumps cards and our own chariot race!
Here are the children using their handmade Roman Shields to create the ‘tortoise’ formation, used by the Romans in battle. We even learned the Latin commands.
Helicopter seeds!
Year 6 had great fun in their outdoor learning lesson testing out paper helicopter seed models!
