In our Learning Means The World theme this week we have been looking at maps and how to read them. The children have been using keys to find what places on the map are and using directional language to describe where the places are. They they have studied a compass and what it is used for and have been looking at the difference between human and physical made objects.
In Science this week, we explored what erosion is. We carried out an experiment to see the effects of erosion using soil, sand and water. We also discussed how and why Marsden Rock has changed over time.
This week in Science, we have been looking at rocks. We started off the week by looking at different types of rocks and identifying whether they were igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic. Then we looked at permeability and carried out an experiment to see which rock was the most permeable and which was the least. We found out that sedimentary rocks were the most permeable rocks.
This week Year 2 have started their new Learning Means the World theme, Paddington’s Passport. So far this geography based theme has lead us to discover the country of Peru in South America. Take a look at the collaborative displays we have created to showcase facts about Paddington’s home country.
Tickets please! Reception had a fabulous day of hot chocolate, dancing, conga, bingo and so much more!
The children loved welcoming their grown ups into nursery today for some festive fun! We decorated wreath photo frames and some collage stockings. The children have prepared their own reindeer dust, ready to sprinkle on Christmas Eve to make sure Santa and his reindeer find them!
We even enjoyed a festive sing-along of some of our favourite Christmas songs! What a great time we all had!

As part of our ‘Come Fly With Me; Africa’ theme, Year 4 have been looking at traditional ceremonial masks. Here are our own African style Masks.
On Monday, in RE 4 Red looked at how Christians believe that Jesus is the light of the world. We learned that this metaphor is used because Jesus lights a path for Christians, it is also a symbol of hope and warmth.
As part of this, Year 4 developed their previous skills of making stained glass windows, this time adding symbols of light. Take a Look.
