Reception – Happy To Be Me – using our senses!

13th October 2022K Richardson

As part of our Learning Means The World theme ‘Happy to be Me,’ we have been looking at our 5 senses and how we use each one. Today we focused on the senses: taste, smell, touch and hearing. We tried various different foods and used associated vocabulary to describe how they felt; whether we could hear noises when we were eating the foods; how they tasted and all of the different smells.

The children were amazing as everyone tried foods they had not tasted before. The sour- sweet was the best, we had some funny faces from that experience !

 

 

A communication device for an evil genius.

13th October 2022L Davison

On Monday, after our relaxing meditation, we set our minds to creating a communication device for an evil genius. We used our science skills to create an electrical circuit and our DT design skills to plan our masterpiece! Our intention was to communicate with our loyal minions using Morse code, which was used during World War I and II to communicate in secret.

6 Blue’s Card Factory

13th October 2022C Campbell

As part of our ‘A World of Bright Ideas‘ theme, 6 Blue have recently been creating their own range of greetings cards. We looked into the meanings of the terms ‘copyright’ and ‘trademark’ before planning our designs. The children printed the cards using embossed polystyrene sheets, rollers and block printing ink to create some very professional-looking end products. Well done everyone – here is a sample of some of the cards!

2 Blue Fashion Designers

27th September 2022H Campbell

As part of our current Learning Means the World theme, Inter Nation Media Station, we were introduced to a character named Top Dollar and his Nan. As he is taking Nan on a special day out, we were asked to design and make a t-shirt for Nan to wear on their day of fun. We worked hard to create our designs then had fun bringing our designs to life. We are all very proud of our designs.

We thought about her likes and dislikes, planned and designed her outfit before producing our final pieces.

1 Red Enjoyed Making Bird Feeders

27th September 2022L Chisholm

In our theme of ‘Happily Ever After’ we have been looking at fairy tales, one of which being ‘The Ugly Duckling’.  This led us to discuss other birds in our area and what they need to live a happy life. We made bird feeders using seeds and lard and placed them in our school garden for the birds to enjoy.
