Nursery had a great time building with some new bricks this week. There was some super team work going on as they moved the bricks around and tried to construct a wall. They really had to think about the best way to stack the bricks so the wall didn't fall over! Their building skills were very impressive!

Today, we used the computers to create our hot write of a persuasive advert. We thought about making it appealing by using bright colours and exciting shapes as well as using persuasive language to persuased someone to visit either Antarctica, the rainforest or the desert. We used our Geography knowledge from hot and cold places to make sure we told some facts. We had to have lots of patience but enjoyed using the chromebooks for our writing.

Today we began to develop our understanding of structure and build on our making skils. Our exploration started with careful looking and drawing, experimenting mark-making with a variety of media.

This week the pupils in year 5 have been busy creating a steady hand game. Pupils had to make a circuit by connecting wires, a 9v battery and a buzzer, then add this to a wire maze and wand. All of the groups successfully made a working game. We then evalutated and discussed how we could improve our products if we made them again.

Today, we participated in Geography morning alongside the rest of School exploring Antarctica. Year Two explored the key question ‘What is it like in Antarctica?’ We watched a video that recapped our knowledge about the temperature, animals, plants and shelters that are there and how nobody lives in Antarctica. We learnt it is the largest desert and is also the coldest place on earth because of its location furthest away from the equator. We used all our knowledge to create replica models of Antarctica.
First, we added mountains and the Southern Ocean into our model before painting a sky. Then we used cotton wool, tissue paper and other resources to add texture to our creations and bring it to life. We even had an iceberg floating in the middle of the ocean! Finally, we discussed animals we would find in Antarctica and placed them around the model in their correct habitats.

Today all of the children in Reception enjoyed an amazing trip to the beach. When we arrived at the beach we walked down the promenade to find the perfect sandcastle building spot. Once the teachers had coned off a safe area we workied groups to create our own sandcastle masterpieces. We filled up our buckets with sand, dug holes with our spade and collected lots of beach items including different sized pebbles and shells. We even found some seaweed! The children then enjoyed a picnic on the beach as well as some lovely beach stories. Some of the children were that tired they even had a little nap on the coach home. When we returned to school we all went to the ice cream shop where we could buy our own ice cream with chocolate or strawberry sauce from Mrs Parkinson and Mrs McAllister. The children had an amazing time and their behaviour was impeccable! Have a look at all the fun we had!

What a great day we've had today learning all about Antarctica. We started the day mindmapping what we already know about the fifth largest continent. Then we were given our key question: What is it like to work in Antarctica? We went on to Google Earth to look at where we are compared to Antarctica. We then watched some videos where researchers explained what their roles are at Antarctica. We learned more about the 2041 Antarctic Treaty. The researches told us about how we need to protect the planet and recycle better so that we can protect the Antarctic and they said that they are hopeful that the treaty will be signed again so that people cannot destroy it. Next, we looked at the Halley research centre which is a base for UK research in Antarctica. Our task was then to research how to get there, what we would need to live/work there and what our job role would entail.

Today we learnt all about the Jewish harvest festival, Sukkot. We then designed our own Sukkah, using various materials to create our model. We followed the criteria to ensure our Sukkah had three walls, a roof made from something natural and decorations of things from the harvest. We worked successfully as a small team to plan and problem solve with our group members.

Today Reception took part in our annual Choral Speaking competition along with the rest of the school. The children performed 'We're going on a bear hunt'. They spoken clearly with excellent intonation and expession and used actions to tell they story. They worked together to stay in time and Mrs Clark and Mrs Farley couldn't be prouder.

Over the last few weeks the children in Year 3 have been attending Little Big Book Club. We have watched an interview from authors, made our own books, created a recipe for a book and shared and discussed what we have enjoyed. The children and parents have thoroughly enjoyed this process and have learnt ways to talk about and appreciate books.
