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!
We have all been very excited about EID!
On Wednesday the children got very creative and designed and made their own Eid cards.

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.

In maths today we looked at algebra we discovered it's only a missing number) and then we wrote our own algebraic equations.

This week the children had the opportunity to work in the computer room to complete their learning on Microsoft PowerPoint. Each child created a title slide and an information slide all about the countryside. 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.
Below are some pictures and videos of the children hard at work and some of the slides they created.

Class 9 had a great time making trailers on iMovie. They worked incredibly hard and their work looked fantastic! I was so proud of them. They loved creating and making their own trailer, deciding on the genre, creating props and costumes. We can't wait to create the short movie.

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.

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.
We can

Some of the things that Class 4 likes about their friends are that they are,
- Good listeners
- Someone who is kind
- Someone who they can share things with
- Someone who makes them smile and be happy
- Someone who is honest
We are proud to say that Class 4 are very good friends with each other and we love the way they value their friendships.

This week the children enjoyed a relaxing art afternoon. They looked at a variety of different landmarks from around the world and then created their own representations using chalk pastels. They created an outline using pencil and looked carefully at the features and positioning of each part before adding in the colour. See if you can guess which famous landmarks they have recreated below.

This week we have been learning all about the Vikings in History. The Viking age in European history was from about AD700 to 1100. During this period many Vikings left their homelands in Scandinavia and travelled by longboat to other countries, like Britain and Ireland.
We learnt that the people of Britain first saw the Viking longboats they came down to the shore to welcome them. However, the Vikings fought the local people, stealing from churches and burning buildings to the ground.
The people of Britain called the invaders 'Danes', but they came from Norway and Sweden as well as Denmark.
Class 9 have had a fantastic day on our Digital Lift Off. We have been amazed with how much information technology is part of our everyday lives. We learned that technology and communication has improved over time and we looked at and created time lines.
We thought about our future jobs and what technology would be involved in them. We are very excited to receive an iPad and enhance our learning opportunities.

Digital lift off day in Class 3
Date: 23rd Apr 2021 @ 7:19pm
Today class 3 took part in our fantastic digital lift off day. The children came dressed in all of their favourite colours, and learnt all about digital technology and how we use it at home and in school.
We got to watch some brilliant videos of different professionals who use digital technology in their jobs on a daily basis. The children then got the chance to create a job profile of them, as well as taking part in lots of different activities relating to those jobs, creating their own games, avatars and even designing their own houses.
Take a look at some of them below.
