This week Acorns have been exploring how to keep ourselves healthy. We have experienced lots of fun sensory activities to learn about healthy eating and keeping our bodies healthy.

Strawberries were a definite favourite and we loved watching ourselves move in the big mirrors.

Year 2- Making Patterns with Nature

Date: 19th Apr 2024 @ 7:09am

Yesterday, Year Two created pieces of art by thinking about patterns they could create using different types of lines, shapes, overlapping, layering and filling taking inspiration from our artist Alice Fox who collects things in her allotment and uses them to create her art. The children had time to explore the materials we were using and then experimented with creating different pieces of art. Once we had our final piece we evaluated it for it's effectiveness thinking about what we liked about it and reflected on the techniques we had used.

Nursery and the New Arrivals

Date: 18th Apr 2024 @ 10:25pm

It has an ordinary Thursday in Nursery when Mrs Robinson from the office arrived with a special delievry! What could be inside the box? We tried to guess and some people thought it might be a puppy while others thought it might of been a lizard! All good guesses - but no! Inside the box we found some teeny, tiny caterpillars! We can't wait to watch their transformation in to butterflies! 

Nursery Help the Butterflies

Nursery continue to learn about growth and change and this week we have been reading the story "Ben Plants a Butterfly Garden". In the story, Ben plants some wild flower seeds in his garden to encourage butterflies to come and visit - he even finds some caterpillars! We planted our own wild flower seeds and are looking forward to watching them grow. The children have also spent time exploring flowers and looking at their individual parts, sequenced how to grow and seed and created some collage flowers and some transient art flowers. 

Reception- Looking for signs of Spring.

Date: 18th Apr 2024 @ 4:37pm

This week we have been looking for signs of Spring in our school grounds.

It was a little bit chilly but we wrapped up warmly and ventured out into the sunshine.

Around school, we found tulips growing, buds beginning to sprout on branches, pink and white blossom blowing in the wind, a birds nest and even some tadpoles swimming in our school pond. 

As we discovered something new, we ticked it off our list until everything had been found- we were very lucky indeed!

Take a look at what Spring looks like at Boundary Primary School.

"I can see tulips and they are red" Melani.

"We have a birds nest and baby birds in it in our outdoor area" Niko.

Year 6 continued their unit based on school subjects. After learning how to tell the time in French to the nearest hour, the children went on to create longer sentences which involved saying what day and time they study a particular subject. They also completed a listening activity which focused on children's opinions about school subjects. Everyone did really well. 

Year 3- No Pen Morning !

Date: 18th Apr 2024 @ 2:50pm

For our No Pen Morning, we thought about how we could use our oracy skills to complete our Reading into Writing and Maths lessons. In Reading into Writing we were completing our GPS lesson focusing on subheadings. The children ordered a text based on subheadings, created their own headings and matched topics to the headings. In Maths, we looked at adding fractions. The children created a tarsia using our knowledge of adding numerators.

Year 3- Parts of Plants

Date: 18th Apr 2024 @ 2:45pm

Today we explored the parts of plants. We dissected the plants to examine the parts. We used magnifying glasses to take a closer look. We found roots, buds, flowers, leaves and stems. We then looked at the roles of these parts. 

Year 4- No Pen Morning

Date: 18th Apr 2024 @ 1:56pm

Year 4 have had a great time during no pen morning. In Reading into Writing, we started our next journey which to write a poem based on rivers. We looked at a range of different poems and discussed common features such as alliteration, personification and rhyming. 

In Maths, we learnt how to represent hundredths as fractions. Firstly, we use base ten blocks to understand how to represent hundredths as fractions. Then, we used our digital literacy skills to use rekenrek on our chromebooks. We discussed how many beads were on each side of the rekenrek and talked about how to represent each of the sides as a fraction.

Date: 17th Apr 2024 @ 7:24am

Yesterday, Year Two completed no pen morning alongside the rest of the School. In Reading into Writing, we developed our digital literacy skills using the Chromebooks to read a teacher model and find all the different features on SeeSaw. In Maths, we completed a cutting and sticking activity to help us with recognising equal or unequal parts in a range of pictorial representations to begin our new fractions unit. 

Year 1 No Pen Morning

Date: 16th Apr 2024 @ 5:56pm

Today Year 1 enjoyed No Pen Day! We began our Science lesson by identifying the different parts of a tree, including the roots, trunk, bark, branches, leaves and crown. We then labelled these parts on a tree independently, either using the text tool on Seesaw or reading the parts and matching them to the correct label.

We then learnt what the words deciduous and evergreen meant. We looked at examples of each and discussed what we noticed about the different leaves. We learnt that evergreen leaves are usually thicker, leathery and waxier than the leaves of deciduous trees. We felt some examples from different trees, including holly, laurel and hazel. We then completed an evergreen and deciduous tree sort.

Year 4 - Branching databases

We worked through a selectionof tutorial tasks to prepare for the next few sessions.

Year 1 Zog

Acorns have had a great week exploring space and shape. Our story of the week, Whatever Next, saw us travelling into space. We enjoyed the sensory experience of boxes as a rocket and a collander for a helmet. For maths, we explored shapes and made colourful rockets using lots of different shapes. We used a space theme to support our writing and mark making skills. What a busy week.
