Date: 21st May 2024 @ 4:05pm

This half term in computing, Year 4 have veen learning about what data is and why it is important to log it. This week, we looked at two graphs which measured temperature and light.

Year 1 Finding Half of a Quantity

Date: 20th May 2024 @ 5:50pm

Today we learnt to find half of a quantity. We worked through lots of examples together, seeing that to find a half we need two equal groups. We then explored practically sharing a given quantity of objects into two groups using skills developed throughout our previous lessons. We checked the amounts in each groups after sharing to ensure that there was an equal amount in each group.

Year 4 - What is the link between distance and volume?

Date: 20th May 2024 @ 3:37pm

Today, we looked at the link between distance and volume. We discovered that the further away a sound is the more the soundwaves dissipate and therefore the volume is lower.

Year 6 - Barclays Life Skills Workshop

Date: 20th May 2024 @ 11:40am

We were lucky to receive a visit from Elini, who delivered a Barclays life skill work shop on the subject of safe and sensible spending.  The session focussed on how to keep money safe and introduced specific terminology such as fraud and scam. We then went on to look in detail at an email and identifed things to look out for if it was fraud or a scam. Finally we moved on to look at sensible spending including budgeting and saving.  

 

 

Acorns - Sam plants a sunflower

Date: 17th May 2024 @ 4:42pm

This week Acorns have been reading Sam plants a Sunflower, as our class story.

We have enjoyed learning about how plants grow and what they need, including soil, water and sunlight.

We have been developing our focus and attention, taking part in small adult led group activities based around our story.

Acorns have enjoyed the immersive sensory story, especially being sprayed with the water spray when Sam plants his seeds and waters them.

Acorns have experienced planting their very own sunflowers and can't wait to see them grow. 

Acorns Butterflies

Date: 17th May 2024 @ 4:33pm

Acorns have been watching and waiting patiently for our caterpillars to change into butterflies. On Wednesday, we were excited to see our first butterfly leave its chrysalis.

We waited patiently for all 5 butterflies to appear and then enjoyed watching them fluttering around and drinking from some oranges and flowers.

Today, we released them back into the wild so the life cycle can begin again.

We have really enjoy watching our caterpillars grow and change.

Year 1 Making Homes

Date: 17th May 2024 @ 1:01pm

Today we followed our designs and prototypes to make our homes. We thought about key ideas we needed to talk about before we started to make our homes, e.g. how can we stay safe when making our homes? And how can we make sure our homes turn out the way we want them too? We then worked to follow our own designs and prototypes to each create our home. After we had created our final product we checked really carefully that there was nothing else to do to improve our finished product.

Date: 17th May 2024 @ 11:36am

Our outdoor space is brilliant for the children to develop their gross motor skills. One activty that they love is using rollers and paint brushes to wash the windows and anything else they can find! The large action of moving the brush and roller across a large space is great for developing arm, shoulder and wrist muscles. 

Year 2- Character Descriptions

Date: 17th May 2024 @ 7:50am

This week, Year Two were lucky to have a visit from author Dan Worsley. We began the morning by participating in a storytelling assembly where Dan kindly shared one of his stories with us before he came to visit our classroom and delivered a descriptive writing workshop with us. As part of our Reading into Writing unit, Twisted Fairytales, we picked a character from famous fairytale and created our own evil troll that we could use in our final write. Some of us were lucky and got to put on Dan's storytelling waistcoat to share some of our descriptive sentences. Thank you to Dan for coming in, we all really enjoyed the workshop and it has inspired us to write some incredible twisted fairytales.

Reception The Lifecycle of a Butterfly

Date: 16th May 2024 @ 9:47am

Over the last few weeks the children in Reception have been observing our classroom caterpillars grow and change.  We have been learning about the different stages in the lifecycle including; the butterfly laying an egg on a leaf, the caterpillar hatching a eating lots of food, the caterpillar making a chrysalis and finally transorming into a butterfly.  The children have sequenced the lifecycle and written sentences about what is happening.  The children were meserised when eight beautiful butterflies emeged from the chrysalis.

Date: 14th May 2024 @ 7:42pm

Over the past couple of weeks, Year 4 have been learning about what data logging is. We discussed that data is information that is collected to analyse something and that we use data loggers to do this. Then, we walked around the school and recorded the temperature of the school and then analysed the results. We have also discussed some of the challenges we may have when collecting data in a range of environments.

Over the past couple of weeks, Year 4 have listened, appraised and practised to sing 'Oh Happy Day.' Firstly, we listened to the song and then compared it to the version that was sung in the film 'Sister Act.' Then, we split into two groups and learnt to sing the song. 

Year 2- Programming Robots

Date: 14th May 2024 @ 4:40pm

This half term, Year Two have been exploring algorithms and how to programme floor robots. So far we have looked at making predictions as to what the outcome will be of an algorithm before designing our own mats and this week creating an algorithm to get the robot from one square to another avoiding the obsticals we also placed down. 

Year 1 Murti

Date: 14th May 2024 @ 4:27pm

Today we looked at the use of Murti in Hindu worship. We learnt that Murtis are often colourful and bright and that Hindus give offerings to them. We then looked at lots of different examples of Murtis, including both Gods and Goddesses, and looked at why Hindus may worship them. We then chose a Murti to represent using salt dough, thinking about why Hindus may choose this Murti to worship. Again, we discussed how these are used as a way of showing respect to the different roles of God.

All of the pupils in year 5 had a great experience at Blackpool's Grand Theatre watching the amazing new show, The Boy at the Back of the Class; based on the book by
