This morning we had a visit from Reverend Ian at St John’s church. He talked about how God created people in his image. He talked about how people are special and how you see their images on coins etc. He then talked about how everyone is special, how we have to treat everyone with kindness and look after everyone.
This week we’ve been learning how to round numbers to the nearest 10. After completing some tricky challenges in our books, we practiced our skills using some rounding games.
In Year 1, we have been making bags for a fairy. We designed our bag yesterday and then today we made them. We had lots of rules that we had to follow so that the bag was right for the fairies, for example it needed to be small so they can carry it and it also cannot harm any nature so flowers were off limits! We took great pride in our creations and we were so proud of how our bags turned out and we hope the fairies love them just as much as we do!
As part of our ‘Lightning Speed’ theme, the children in year 4 have researched, designed and created a prototype for their own communication device. They even created their own circuits to be used in their devices.
In LMTW as part of Design and Technology we have been designing and making bags for a fairy. We looked at various styles of bags that we use to carry things but then we decided a fairy needed a small lightweight bag to carry as fairies are small and delicate. The children enjoyed designing, making and decorating their bags!
This week in PE, we have been learning about different ways to run and jump. We played a lovely game called “Here come the sharks!” where the children had to run away from the sharks to avoid being caught. We also did a jumping carousel, where the children practiced how to jump in different ways. They did star jumps, tuck jumps, pencil jumps and loads more! We were exhausted at the end of it!
This week in year 4 we have been learning about ‘electricity’. The children have created their own circuits, recognising the equipment needed to successfully light up a bulb. As well as this, the children have completed an investigation into which materials are conductors and insulators.
