Today we learnt about data and information. Firstly, we learnt that labelling, grouping and searching are important parts of data and information. Through different activites, we then learnt to describe objects using labels, match objects to groups, identify labels for groups and describe properties of objects.
Year 2 Transparent, Translucent or Opaque?
Date: 13th Jun 2023 @ 3:47pm
Today, Year Two began consolidating our Science learning by recapping our knowledge learnt in our Everyday materials and their properties unit. We flashbacked different materials and their properties before conducting an investigation to find the most suitable window for the three little pigs house to ensure they were hidden from the wolf but light would be able to fill the house. We tested a variety of materials and described them using key language transparent, translucent and opaque. We decided the best materials were the ones that were translucent.

Today we began our new PE unit of handball with Alan Williams, our local sports coach. With the weather being extrememly hot, we definitely worked up a sweat!! We practised our throwing and catching skills using the official balls, which are smaller than we are used to. Over the session, we became more accurate and powerful with our throws. By the end, we were able to hold small 3 v 3 games to practise and demonstrate our catching, throwing and dodging skills. We can't wait for our next session!

Nursery have been exploring farms this week and we have had so much fun! We've sheered sheep, made pigs, cows and chickens, counted farm animals and made milkshakes. The children have been developing their finger muscles by using tweezers to put wool on sheep and building pens for the animals out of playdough.

Nursery had a super time when the mobile farm visited school. They found out about the animals and what they like to eat and drink and really enjoyed grooming the sheep, goats and donkey. We talked about what happens on a farm, where the animals sleep and how we get milk from a cow and wool from a sheep.

Year 6 have done some brilliant work in their French lessons this half term. Our unit was called ' Le Week-end' and focused on activities that the children might do at the weekend. We learned the correct vocabulary for each activity, language to give opinions and how to tell the time to the nearest five minutes. As always, our lessons covered listening, speaking, reading and writing activities and the children produced great work in each.

Today, Year Two participated in our annual sports day. We completed lots of different activities including: races, speed bounce, welly throw, bean bag challenge, under and over team races, stuck in the mud, speed stack and a rest station where we refuelled with water and had a much needed sit down. Throughout the afternoon, we demonstrated many characteristics such as team work, determination, perseverance and participation and everybody should be proud of the effort they showed. Well done Year 2!

During this half term we have been growing sunflowers for our science topic. We ended our topic by observing over time the changes that happened from seed to small plant, we saw how the plant had grown a stem and some leaves, as well as roots under the soil. We recapped the topics we had covered including evergreen and decidious trees, wild and garden flowers, seeds and bulbs - we have identified, sorted and classified plants. We then used our collaging art skills to create a model flower that included the roots, stem, leaves, petals and flower.

Year 6 - The Human Circulatory System

Our Science unit this half term is focusing on the human body and how to stay healthy. We started by looking at the function of the heart before learning about the circulatory system. This week we have learned about diffision and osmosis - the way that nutrients are moved between cells in our body. Although it is a complicated concept. the children conducted an experiment using potatoes to demonstrate how osmosis works, which really helped to deepen their understanding.

This week Reception have enjoyed reading The Bog Baby. A story of two small sisters who discover a bog baby (small and blue with wings like a dragon) in a magic pond, and decide to keep him.
We wrote about the story, painted bog babies, created our own using different art resources and told the story at the story table, using puppets.
Next week we will make our own Bog Baby out of clay and construct a home for him.
Take a look at what we have done so far!
