This half term we are designing and creating our own stuffed toys. The children have been working really hard on deciding the theme and shapes they will need and choosing and cutting the right fabrics pieces. This week we have practised using a blanket stitch. Next week we will be sewing our toys together and stuffing them.
This half term during our SCARF lessons, we have been discussing how to keep safe. First we discussed risks, hazards and dangers that we can come across and how we would class different situations. The children then acted these out. After this, we then thought about the word “Dare”. We thought about how we are often dared to do this we may not be comfortable with. Together we thought of strategies of how to deal Read more
We had a fantastic time at forest school today. We celebrated the big garden bird watch and made some bird feeders and hung them from the trees. We toasted marshmallows on the fire and made s’mores. We also built dens and explored the trees and nature.
This afternoon Juniper have had a visit from Rochdale’s environment education officer. They have learnt all about the 4r’s – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Recover. There was some great participation in the discussion and the children now know what goes into each of the rubbish bins we have at home. No-one has an excuse for not recycling now! We carried out some activities to do with landfill and where our waste goes. Well done everyone.
This half term during our Art lessons we are focusing on sculpture. Today we looked at the work of Barbara Hepworth. Then we sketched and planned our own soap sculptures. Take a look at some of our creations!
We have been learning all about space this half term in science in Year 2. This week we looked at what planets are in our solar system and learnt all of their names. We then used inflatable planets and put them in order from the sun.
Thank you for all the parents that came to our shared learning and lunch.
In RE today Year 6 discussed vocabulary linking to different cases of good and bad, right and wrong. The children discussed and defined the meaning of fairness, justice, forgiveness and freedom. The children then worked in groups to look at different newspaper reports on crimes in the UK. The children looked at animal cruelty, criminal damage and people skipping tram fares. The children discussed the crimes and whether the punishment was enough to ensure justice Read more
Thank you to everyone who attended today. All children had such a good time and really enjoyed themselves. We hope adults enjoyed themselves too. We made oracle bones out of clay today! We used the equipment to engrave Chinese writing into our bones/turtle shells and then wrote our dates of birth to practise our Chinese writing. We then had some delicious lunch and all children loved sharing their lunch time with their adult.
This week your science experiment needs very limited resources but a lot of imagination. Your task is to create milk art and discuss why it has worked the way it worked. Good luck, we look forward to seeing your milk art. Milk Art
