Last night we had a fun time at science club looking at materials. We had to find the best material to use as an umbrella. The children used scientific vocabulary to make predictions. Then, they tested the best material to keep themselves dry. The children found that plastic was the best material and cars and paper was not as it eventually ripped and let water through. They knew what materials were waterproof and which ones Read more

Today we have been learning about first aid and been practicing what we would do if our friends needed first aid. Here are some pictures of our learning.
In this D.T unit we having been learning all about Information design and why it is important for us to have signage, posters and written communication in public places. We created an electric poster based on the Ancient Romans. In this lesson, we used our designs and assembled our poster together using a functional circuit which included a battery, bulb and wires. The posters looked fantastic when they were finished. Well done year 3!
As part of our Cells topic, we looked at the different organ systems in our body. We found that because organisms like humans, plants and animals have so many complex processes within them to stay alive, organs can’t carry out these roles on their own. To enable us to live, our bodies are made up of organ systems, which are groups of organs working together to carry out these complex processes.
Year 6 have thoroughly enjoyed their new topic in Art, focusing on photo opportunities. Yesterday, using the iPad, children took pictures of fruit in the style of Edward Weston. The children used the photo editing app to edit their images. Have a look at our work.
As we approach the end of the RE unit about Islam and what it means to be a Muslim in Britain today, year 5 have enjoyed constructing a 3D model of a mosque following instructions. Children have been able to consolidate their learning through this hands on activity by identifying features and functions of a mosque and labelling them accurately. Well year 5, for showing excellent teamwork in your groups.
As part of our new art unit, Year 6 have been looking at the work of Edward Weston and how he uses colours and close up images to create abstract art. He creates pieces using a technique called Macro Photography: a techniques which involves taking pictures up close to capture tiny details of an object. We experiments with using different types of fruit and vegetables, as well as different coloured backgrounds, effects and Read more
Juniper have been creating their own databases this afternoon. We have used our new learning to create records and fields within a database and then use that information to ask the database questions. The children came up with some excellent suggestions for ‘fields’ and were able to explain whether or not we needed ‘drop-down menus’ for these and ‘numbers or text’.
We have been reading and learning about the story Jack and the beanstalk. This week we have been reading instructions on how to plant seeds and then writing our own. During forest school this week we have planted our very own beans. We are hoping the magic works and they all grow high up into the sky.
