Class 6 have been inspired by....

Date: 21st Oct 2020 @ 1:14pm

Nelson Mandela! 

During Black History week we have loved learning all about Nelson Mandela and his life. We explored Nelson Mandela in more detail, as an inspirational figure that fought for change for black people. The children were eager to learn lots about him and expressed their thoughts and feelings about his time in prison and how he wanted equal rights for all in South Africa. We are so proud of how thoughtful and empathetic all the children were when thinking about how tough his life had been.

The work that they have produced is amazing and below are a few examples from a variety of children in Class 6.

Inspired by... Black History

Date: 18th Oct 2020 @ 10:21pm

 

This week is Curriculum week. We are Inspired by... Black History and will be learning all about the Windrush generation.

                                                      Britain must pay its debts to the Windrush generation – no matter what it  costs | Colin Grant | Opinion | The Guardian

Windrush Day takes place on 22 June, remembering the day when around 500 migrants from the Caribbean arrived at Tilbury Docks in Essex in 1948.

Britain was just starting to recover from World War Two back then. Thousands of buildings had been bombed, lots of houses had been destroyed and it all needed to be rebuilt.

In the Caribbean, lots of young men and women had served in the British armed forces because at the time, many Caribbean countries were still under British rule and not yet independent.

After the war, some of these people answered an advert to come to Britain where there were lots of different jobs to do. 

Other people just wanted to see Britain, which they had heard so much about.

This week, Class 4 have been busy doing their learning at home. We are very proud of the children who have been working hard on their learning packs and have tried their best with their work on Purple Mash. 

Thank you so much to the parents who have helped tremendously to support the children's learning at home. The part you play is invaluable. 

Finally, well done to the fantastic readers who have been reading to Mrs Ali, We know it’s harder reading over the phone but well done for being so resilient.

We have missed all the children and can't wait to see them all again next Thursday!

What we have been learning about in class 2! (WB 10.10.20)

Date: 16th Oct 2020 @ 12:55pm

This week in class 2 we have been learning all about houses around the world. The children have really enjoyed using the book 'You Choose' to find their perfect house. Every child in the class has drawn their perfect house and then labelled it thinking about the sounds they can hear in the words they want to write. 

In maths this week we have matching numbers and quantities. The children each had a gift bag with a different number in and they had to go around the room to collect that number of objects. 

Throughout the week the children have noticed the leaves that have fallen onto the floor in our garden, we decided to pick them up and on Friday afternoon we completed lots of different learning activities with the leaves. We made leaf people, used crayons to make patterns with the leaves and even collaged pictures of our faces with the leaves. We had so much fun following our interests!

We have been learning about... Incy Wincy Spider!

Date: 16th Oct 2020 @ 12:45pm

This week we have been learning the nursery rhyme-Incy Wincy spider.
Children have been joining in with the actions to the song and we have been reading The Very Busy Spider story by Eric Carle.
We have made spiders using egg boxes and pipe cleaners and made web pictures out of wool.
The children have been looking for lots of spiders hidden in our room!

We have finally got our full intake of Nursery children. During circle time we had the confidence to share our names to our new class with lots of our new friends. Our topic this week was 'My family'. We listened to a story about Mum and Dad and shared our own thoughts about our parents, we made paintings of our parents. We also made little paper houses with drawings of our family members. To end the week we shared family photographs and spoke about out family members to our class.

We have also designed our perfect house, lots of them had swimming pools and giant trampolines! We made some spectacular houses outside too!

Year 6 Science Investigation

Date: 14th Oct 2020 @ 3:43pm

This week year 6 have been learning about microorganisms in science. We discovered that they can be both good and bad microorganisms, like mould and penicillin. We then decided on an investigation to see what makes mould grow fastest. We came up with a range of ideas including how temperature, light and dampness would effect mould growth. We are now going to monitor the bread for the next week and measure mould growth. We all also made predictions about what we thought would happen.
