Year 3 had so much fun building, coding and then playing with robots. They had to work as a team to build their robots and then to code the robots using a laptop to get them to move. They loved it! 

Year 5 have been learning to play netball with Mr Lofthouse. This week we played a class tournament. Mr Lofthouse was particularly pleased with our defensive work.

Following food tasting a couple of weeks ago, children in Year 4 planned to make their own pasta salad to create a healthy accompaniment to a meal. The children prepared their pasta salads today and they looked delicious. Great care was taken with chopping onions, tomatoes, cucumber and peppers…

This week in Year 3 we have enjoyed using the Geoboards to help us learn some shapes. We have learnt about quadrilateral shapes and shapes with right angles. We worked in pairs to make some different shapes. 

This week, to introduce our Newspaper Recounts unit, children in Year 4 practised being news readers. There were some enthusiastic and engaging readers. Well done, Year 4!

Year 1 had a fantastic time at Judges Lodgings on Thursday! We took part in a Victorian school room and helped out in an old fashioned kitchen. It was so interesting to see how different things you to be.

Year 6 hit the atlases this week in an attempt to track down just how many countries the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn pass through on the globe.

Do you know?  (Hint: there are 17 countries for the Tropic of Cancer and 10 for the Tropic of Capricorn!)

This week we have been learning about baptism in RE. We were really luck to go and visit the Cathedral and meet Fr John. He showed us the font and the shell he uses to baptise people. Fr John also showed us where they keep the special oil used to bless people when they are baptised.

On Monday Year 3 went on a local walk around our school. We kept a look out for different types of houses, any shops and we even spotted a cat! This is part of our Geography this term learning all about what is around us - we also took some pictures for our art lessons. 

As part of our RE unit Year 2 took part in a role play of a Baptism. The children were very respectful and thoughtful during the activity. A fantastic way for everyone to experience a Baptism. The questions and discussions were great as well.

Today, Y5 have started to learn to draw using two point perspective. We had lots of fun creating city scenes. Watch this space for more of our super art work!

Year 6 have been hard at it this week, making sure they know exactly what to do in case of an emergency!

Do you have a plan?
