A great week, sunshine, creativity, measuring, team work and smiling faces on our final week of this half term ⭐️👏❤️⭐️👏❤️🤗
As part of our Land Ahoy topic we looked at the life of a pirate and decided to design and create a remote control that would make his journey across the seas easier. We added a button to tell us about the weather, tv screen to watch their favourite show whilst steering the ship, voice recogniser so we could talk into it and relay instructions to the crew below deck to name just a few of the amazing adjustments we would make. We even talked about how to make it water proof, they are sailing the bumpy seas you know!
Despite a very wet week we did manage some time outside! A very creative week of doctors surgery, valentines, team work, independent writing and maths. We are doing a sun dance and hoping for sunshine next week 🤗⭐️👏❤️😋☀️
In LMTW as part of our DT lesson 1 Red lots at various types of buildings and homes in our city. We talked about the different features each building had what its purpose was and what material they were made from. The children then all worked together to use various materials to build different structures, many of the children drew a picture to go with their models.
2 Red have been working as designers this week to create a remote control for a pirate. After discussing our design brief, completing our needs analysis and conducting some product research, we finally planned and made our own designs.
2 Red were so creative in their ideas. Some remotes could link up to the telescope in the bird’s nest of the ship, fire the cannon, steer the ship, locate enemy pirates through sonar devices an even project the commands of the pirate through the ship’s speakers.
An extremely busy week in Reception. Lots of creativity, building, drawing and using our imagination to create stories! Great maths. Jobs combining groups and amounts.

This week in 5 red we have been learning all about volcanoes as part of our Learning Means the World theme “In Your Element”. We have enjoyed learning about tectonic plates, tsunamis and volcanoes, and the destruction that natural disasters can bring. Our project this week was to make our own volcanoes; then using bicarbonate of soda and vinegar, we created our very own volcanic eruptions! 
A fabulous week in Reception. Lots of creativity as always 🤗. This week we have been blown away by children trying to write independent sentences and maths number sentences, just amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️. As always, lots of teamwork and kindness ❤️⭐️👏❤️⭐️
What a week we’ve had in 5 Blue . As part of our Learning Means The World theme, ‘In your Element’ we have been learning all about tectonic plates, earthquakes and most excitingly volcanos. We have learnt how the earths surface is made up and how the movement of tectonic plates can cause the planet to react in different ways.
we have created a our very own volcanos and with the help of vinegar and bicarbonate of soda created our own eruptions. As you can see from our pictures we have had a lot of fun.
