This week in Year 4, we had lots of fun in our problem-solving lesson. We gave every letter of the alphabet a number and then had many challenges to complete such as finding the value of different words. We have put a copy of the questions on this post for you to enjoy too!
This week we have been exploring pattern. We have looked at repeating pattern using objects, colour, language and percussion. We created pattern, copied pattern and became pattern detectives looking for pattern in our environment and in stories.
Today Year 5 have taken part in an ICT workshop.
The children spent some time working with the Micro:bit (a tiny, pocket-sized computer).
Year 5 were able to use their coding skills and work their way through a range of different games, working collaboratively as a team. The children loved playing the rock, paper, scissors game and creating a musical melody with their Micro:bit.
The Micro;bit links to different curriculum areas and connects to hundreds of possible games.
Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed using these today.
and will definitely be adding one to their Christmas list!
Today, we have made our own animation props! We designed these using the scissor mechanism. We used strong card and split pins to create a moving prop that we can use in our own stop-motion animations. We were very proud of our creations and even got to show Mrs Bramley!
This week in Art, we have been learning about Johannes Gutenberg and his invention, ‘The Printing Press. Then, we created our own printing tiles with different types of lines, layers and patterns.
Reception have begun their Little Movers PE sessions.
Little Movers is an exciting Dance and Movement company that offer fun engaging classes for early years PE. The children are all engaged and are having great fun learning new skills and techniques which in turn helps them to develop their gross motor skills.
In Reception, for our activities on World Mental Health Day we decided to have a Yoga session and draw a character using a tutorial on YouTube. Relaxing and so much mindfulness!
This week Orla returned to school after spending a few months in Newcastle on the Shaun the Sheep Trial this summer. Phoebe, from 2 Blue, completed the whole trail, finding all 115 in the flock, and was rewarded with a lovely certificate which she shared in school today.
1 Blue went to visit our local church and were introduced to Reverend Ian. He was very informative about the routines and customs in a Christian church and gave the children a guided tour. The children had a brilliant afternoon and can’t wait to go back!
