We have been looking at our community and what we can do to make it better. 1 Red decided that the wind had blown everything towards our classroom and because we are a school community they wanted to clear the area. The children did a brilliant job just in time for the parents coming.
Year 1 hosted a coffee morning for their parents as part of their ‘unity in the Community’ theme. They shared reading, maths and physical games with their adults and it was a great success. Many of the parents said what a great time they had had and that they wished they could have stayed longer. Our children, as usual, were brilliant and showed off many off their skills and even introduced their parents to each other to increase their community. Well done Year 1!
In Jigsaw he have created a bird to go into our garden of dreams. We designed it together, then in our teams we created it. We have been learning all about how to work as a team and learning that when you do you can create some wonderful creations – as you can see here.
2 Purple have had so much fun with our Land Ahoy! theme this week. We have been designing a remote control to help a pirate with one eye, a hook for a hand and a parrot on his shoulder! First we drew the pirate that we were designing for. Then we had to design a remote control that would help him with his everyday pirate life. The children came up with some fantastic ideas including a remote to find treasure, one to protect them from sharks, one to alert them when other pirates are near and one to help calm him down when he gets angry.

This week in Learning Means The World, we have taken part in a week long design project. First, we analysed a pirate character and decided what his needs were. We then came up with ideas to create a remote contol to help him navigate the stormy seas and other problems he faces. Our designs had all kinds of imaginative, magical buttons. Our final design step today was to make the remotes and evaluate our outcome.
This week 2 Red have ben working as designers to invent a remote control for a pirate.
They followed the design brief, planned, edited and created their design all to fit the needs of their pirate.
In Jigsaw, we have been learning about how to deal with difficult situations. Whilst it is always wonderful to achieve our dreams, it is not always possible. We learned that it is important to be resilient and show a positive attitude when facing disappointment. As part of the challenge we entered the ‘Funniest Potato Competition’, working as part of a team, designing and creating our funny potato.
Here’s what we achieved!
This morning, Year 4 took to the stage to show off all that they have learned about rocks and fossils during their ‘Rocky the Findasaur’ theme. They learned about different types of rocks and soils and how they make up the layers of the Earth. They also learned about the pioneer, Mary Anning and her incredible discovery of the ichthyosaur fossil. She led the way not just for paleontologists but for the recognition of women as scientists too.

Well done Year 4 you did a fantastic job!
