Today in science, we revisited our 'Sound' topic. Firstly, we completed a flashback about how sound travels. Then, we were asked to move around the room and solve 10 clues which gave us a code to escape a recording studio. All of the clues were based on key concepts that we had learnt in Year 4. Therefore, we had to apply our knowledge of these to answer the questions.

Today we were introduced to telling the time to the hour using an analogue clock. We learnt the key words ‘o clock’ and that when we use the word ‘hand’ we are referring to the arrow on the clock face. We focussed on reading time to the hour using only the hour hand, before learning about the minute hand and that the hour hand is shorter than the minute hand. We recognised that when the minute hand is pointing directly to 12, we needed to look at the shorter hand to see which hour it is.

Reception Learn about the Seaside
Date: 10th Jul 2024 @ 2:20pm
Reception have been learning all about Blackpool. We used the map to locate where Blackpool is and found out that it is on the coast. This mean it is near the sea. The children watched lots of different videos and looked at pictures to find out why different people choose to come and visit Blackpool. This included; Blackpool Tower, The ballroom, The Pleasure Beach, the illuminations, Blackpool Footbal club and the beach. We talked about our favourite attraction and why we like it. The children enjoyed looking at different artefacts and producing their own writing.

Nursery have been learning all about farms this week in preperation for the farm visit on Thursday. We read the story "Oliver's Milkshake" and learnt that we usually get our milk from cows, although you can drink goats milk too! We decided it would be nice to make our own milkshakes and voted to see who would like a strawberry milkshake and who would like rasberry. The winner was strawberry! So today we got to make a yummy, scrummy strawberry milkshake!

Eco Warriors- Let's Count - Waste Week.
Date: 8th Jul 2024 @ 2:46pm
This year we participated in the Eco School's Waste Week- Let's Count!
It was launched with a whole school assembly where we looked at the amount of plastic we were able to recycle and what we weren't able to. It was quite astonishing only a very small percentage is actually able to be recycled- the rest goes to landfill.
As part of our BLT (Boundary Learning Together) each child took home a tally sheet where they counted the amount of different plastics they had in their house and compared how many items they were actually able to recycle.
We decided that, as a school, we needed to be mindful of buying items in a plastic container and, where possible, try not to use single use plastics.
