Learning in Class 9 23.9.22

Date: 21st Sep 2022 @ 9:44pm

Class 9 have continued their learning about electricity and this week they were set a challenge which was could they light up the bulb or make the buzzer buzz. The children were so enthusiastic and loved the practical learning and the challenge set. They worked out how to make a full circuit so the bulb lit up and then drew the circuit they had made using electrical symbols. Well done Class 9!

Our WOW Starter!

Date: 21st Sep 2022 @ 9:08pm

We loved exploring different vegetables and playing farmer in class this week. We explored different vegetables that might be grown and harvested at a farm in the countryside. After harvesting the crops we enjoyed tasting the different vegetables. We tasted, swede, radish, cabbage, natural yoghurt and creamy mature cheese. We have been looking at urban and rural areas and discussing as a class where we would like to live when we are older.

Wow starter!

Date: 21st Sep 2022 @ 7:03pm

This week we have started our new topic 'The Countryside'. We started our new learning by finding out what foods you might see growing on a farm. At first we thought we might see mangos and bananas but after lots of research and talk time we found out that wasn't quite right. 

 

We discussed how the farmers grow their vegetables and fruit. Then we talked about what food we can get from different animals for example eggs from chickens and milk from cows. 

 

Then we got to try some foods. The children really enjoyed trying lots of new foods like swede, cabbages and radishes. At home, could you ask your children which food they likes and which one they didn't. 

All things Messy!

Class 14 - World War II Wow Starter

Date: 16th Sep 2022 @ 1:59pm

Year 6 had a fabulous time with Mr B learning all about World War II.  They learned what life really like for children and adults in World War Two.  To have to cope not only with the rationing and evacuee programmes, but also the Blitz, the Battle of Britain and the threat of being invaded.  They explored how people were able to live in a time when sticking together and standing strong was not only expected but essential.  They got to carry out lots of hands on activities, including creating Black out windows, dressing up and handling WW2 artefacts and even learning how to bandage up their friends using WW2 instructions.  What a fabulous start to our World War II topic! Ask your child all about it and see what interesting facts they know.

WELCOME TO CLASS 6

Date: 11th Sep 2022 @ 6:11pm

What an amazing start to Class 6 the children have had! 

We began our week exploring our book of the week; Charlie Stinky Socks and the Really Big Adventure. The children loved the different characters that Charlie and his crew met along the adventure through the deep dark wood. They shared amazing adjectives and showed good knowledge of language that blew us away! 

Their number knowledge in maths tested their knowledge of place value which then they had to use to help the pirates solve the clues to solve the problem; Who had stolen the pirates treasure map? We found the suspect just in time for the Jolly Rodger's to set sail in search for the treasure! 

 

We are excited for our WOW starter in Topic next week which links our Geography lessons this half term to the Countryside. Share stories or family photos from times you may have visited a farm or local countryside together and discuss the following terminology as a family; cattle, stile, hedges, cobbled lane, drystone wall, resevoir. 7F47F9D1-3B63-4046-A246-CEE4EF449225.jpegD410DA64-C501-499D-AB09-861FD7D54D5D.jpeg

Class 9 children came back to school after their Summer holidays with big smiles and LOTS of enthusiasm. 

This week we have been reading the story 'The Great Green Forest by Paul Geraghty'.

They drew and painted an animal of their choice in the style of the author and illustrator Paul Geraghty. They have written descriptions of the animals and the forest, which they will edit and improve. What a great start to Year 4! Well done Class 9!
