This week, Year 2 started creating their story boxes. We used our design brief to help us start to assemble  our boxes before we attach a working hinge.

Year 2- Maths Problem Solving

This week, Year 2 have been exploring addition and subtraction. We then spent some time using our skills to solve a number of problems and word problems. We used number lines, Numicon and tens and ones to help us!

I can paint a rainbow!

 This week in Nursery we have been learning about colours and colour mixing. The children chose two colours to mix together in their paint pallet. We discussed what colour they thought would be their new colour, and mixed them to see if they were right. We then used these colours to paint our own rainbows.

Year 3 Maths - What is mass?

We have been learning about mass this week in Year 3. We discovered that mass is the amount something weighs. We use grams and kilograms to measure mass and in our lesson, we weighed different objects recording their weights in grams. We then ordered the weights from lightest to heaviest. 

 

Year 3 Computing - We can create creative algorithms for a sprite using code!

Year 3 have been learning to encode an online pencil/sprite to draw in different directions: the results were positively algorithmic!

Year 3 trip to the British Museum

Today Year 3 went to the British Museum to learn about Ancient Greece. We looked at many different primary sources (objects that were around at the time of the Greeks!) and secondary sources (things that were written). We learned that the Parthenon was a temple and held many statues of Greek gods. We sketched various different artefacts and were able to learn about life in Ancient Greece. 

Year 6 - Mini-Chef - Elder Class

This week, Elder class were excited to cook a delicious winter vegetable soup. We chose a recipe which contained seasonal ingredients and minimised the food miles as much as we could. Everyone was involved in peeling, slicing, dicing and chopping vegetables. Then it was time to add the ingredients, stir the pot and help with the washing up. After school, we sold lots of our tasty soup. Well done everyone!

Hinges- Year 2

This half term, Year 2 are learning all about hinges. In this lesson, the children explored how to make the brace hinge, tie hinge and a set of tabs. This lesson was in preparation for when they design and make a story box with hinged lid.

Reception - Shapes

This week in Reception we have been exploring 2D shapes. We have learnt to name and describe different 2D shapes. The children enjoyed going on a shape hunt around the classroom with a partner to find objects shaped like a circle, triangle, square and rectangle. They drew the objects they found, to share with the rest of the class. 

They have been working together to tesselate shapes to create pictures. This group of friends made a rocket!

Year 3 Ancient Greeks

On Friday 15th November, not only was it Children In Need, but it was also Year 3's Ancient Greece Immersion Day.

The children enjoyed using the VR goggles to explore what it would have been like to live in Ancient Greece; learnt about the origins of medicine and how they used natural ingredients that are still used today; discovered the origins of the Olympics and made wreaths and how catapults were used in wars and made mini versions.
