1 Blue had an absolutely fabulous trip to West Boldon Lodge. They made name badges, built dens, toasted marshmallows, found fairy houses and explored the forest school area!
4 Red had an excellent day on Thursday, when they had a visit from Williby Roc’s. We went into the garden to help plant some trees. We made bee bombs to encourage more wildlife into our garden and we even had time for a scavenger hunt.
The children in Year 3 have been learning to sing the ‘rainbow song’ in French this term. très bien!
The children in Year 4 have really enjoyed learning through song this term. Listen to them sing their French number song to 21. très bien Year 4 !
We had a lovely afternoon helping out with the garden area. We planted some plants, made wild flower bombs, went on a scavenger hunt and collected lots of natural resources.
This week in our Learning Means The World theme ‘Athens V Sparta’ we have been building a Grecian car. We used our measuring skills to measure each piece of wood and used the saws to cut the lines we measured. We followed the safety instructions for using the saws to ensure we used the equipment safely. We are very proud of our finished products and even got to race them!
We have some new additions to Reception! We have frog spawn. We have been observing the changes to our frogspawn and we now have some tadpoles! We have written captions, discussed the lifecycle of a frog, labelled it and used frogs for number bonds of 10 in our maths
This week in Music, we have been learning about notation. We learned the technical names for the notation and how many beats they are. A semibreve is 4 beats, a minim is 2 beats and a crotchet is 1 beat. In groups we created a four bar rhythm with four beats in each bar using glockenspiels and then performed it to the rest of the class. After our performances, we evaluated our compositions.
The Nursery children have had great fun today making moving toys. We drew faces, curled paper, used glue and tape to attach card and craft straws. I think you will all agree that the children have done a fantastic job making our caterpillars!
Year 2 had a fantastic day celebrating World Book Day! It was fun-filled from start to end.
Our Roald Dahl themed activities included creating The BFG’s dream jars, helping the Mugglewump Monkeys get revenge on The Twits, solving Dahl’s maths problems, drawing characters in the style of Quentin Blake, searching for book covers and, of course, hunting for Golden Tickets and more!
