Eid Celebrations

Date: 15th May 2021 @ 12:32am

This week in C4, our assembly focused on the month of Ramadan. We looked at why Muslims fast and what we learn during this month. We also recapped on the five pillars of Islam, to see which we could remember.

We have been busy making Eid cards to give to our friends and family. We decorated Islamic patterns and used them to decorate our cards. The bright array of cards looked fantastic, and we hope you enjoyed receiving them.

We ended the week with an Eid party to mark the end of Ramadan. We dressed up in our best clothes and had great fun playing different party games.

This week we've been learning all about transport on the water.

We found a mysterious pirate in our classroom who needed our help as he was lost. We had to work together and make him a list of all of the emergency items he will need to survive on his ship.We even took part in pirate role play and followed a map to find treasure! We also made our own maps and have started to label them with initial sounds. 

On friday we had a Eid party, we played musical statues, watched a movie and had some delicious snacks. 

Thankyou to the parents who brought the snacks in, we wish you all an Eid mubarak :)

This week we have had lots of fun creating iMovies on the iPad. First of all, the children had to perform and film their movies. Next, the children had to edit their movies and add different effects.

They loved the whole experience and they had so much fun!

Reception Weekly Blog WB 10.5.2021

Date: 13th May 2021 @ 11:36am

This week Reception were very excited to welcome the chicks into our classes. They arrived on Monday and we put them straight into the incubator. We didnt have to wait long before the chicks started to peck their way out of their shells. Once one arrived the rest followed very quickly. When they had dried out we transferred them to the brooder and we are very excited for next week when they will be strong enough to hold.

To help us to understand the life cycle of the chicks we have been looking at a non-fiction book - Egg to Chick - in English.We have discussed how non fiction books are laid out and have found lots of facts inside them.

In Maths we have started 3 weeks of learning about First, Then and Now. We have been looking at stories that involve looking at a group of characters and adding on one, then more than one to find the total at the end.

This week Reception were very excited to come into school on Monday to find that their caterpillars had got VERY fat and that some had even turned into a chrysalis! We used the magnifying glasses to have a very close look at them. By the end of the week we transferred them to the butterfly net and now we just have to wait for  them to emerge!

We did some great English learning about The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We sequenced the story and described the character through the different stages of his life.

In Maths we did some tricky learning with numbers up to 20. We used 10s frames and other representations to see what each numeral looked like in lots of different ways.

Class 12's Blog

Date: 13th May 2021 @ 11:14am

Once upon a time in a classroom along the KS2 corridor, Class 12 embarked on a journey to a fairy tale world.  They found talking wolves, who particularly enjoyed wearing Grandma's clothes and a little girl dressed in red who was very naive.  After writing fantastic newspaper reports the children from Class 12 lived happily ever after. 
 
We have been looking at the story of Little Red Riding Hood in Literacy and we loved Digital Lift Off Day.  It was inspiring thinking about future careers and the technology involved.

They picked and inserted a backgrounds, inserted pictures, typed and altered text including changing the font, size and colour and animated the slides ready for the final show on the big screen.

Magnets in C4

Date: 8th May 2021 @ 10:15am

 

 

This week in Class 4, we have had a great time exploring magnets in Science. We began by looking at what a magnet is and what it does.

Looking at a range of different objects, we sorted them into magnetic and non-magnetic objects. The magnetic objects would stick to the magnet and the non-magnets one would not. 

Were first thought that all metal objects would be magnetic but we were surprised to find out that only some metals are magnetic.

We had a great time going around the classroom trying to find different magnetic and non-magnetic objects. 

Class 3

Date: 7th May 2021 @ 5:49pm

This week in class 3 we have been learning all about magnets and exploring the different materials that are magnetic and which are not. 

We went around the classroom using magnets to look at which objects were attracted to the magnets. 

We worked really hard to and had lots of fun! We found that an object must contain metal for it to be magnetic,  but that not all metals are magnetic.
