In English, we have reading and writing the story Little Red Riding Hood. This week we have been thinking about the Big Bad Wolf; we found out all about wolves using a fact PowerPoint, then we worked in groups; looked at pictures and videos of wolves and collected vocabulary to describe what they look like, sound like and how they move. This helped us to write really interesting adjectives in our sentences when we were Read more
This week in maths we have been looking at length and height, we have being learning vocabulary and thinking of actions to remember the words long, short, tall, short. We really enjoyed finding objects to measure around the classroom, we used cubes to measure each object and then spoke about how tall or long our objects were. We had to work accurately, making sure we started from the same point with each object and the Read more
During a Science lesson, we used Oreos to look at the different phases of the moon. The children loved the part where they got to eat the Oreos the most!
Children worked together to come up with adjectives to describe the wolf! They came up with some great ideas and we are looking forward to using these ideas tomorrow.
Year 5 Juniper have had a fantastic time with an afternoon full of science to celebrate British Science Week. Children were able to research and present factual information about Nikola Tesla (a famous electrical scientist in history) by actively retrieving information about him and presenting it in a booklet. Together, we also investigated which materials are electrical conductors or insulators by planning an investigation and testing different materials in an electrical circuit. Well done Year Read more
Children loved using the walkie talkies today for British Science Week. They couldn’t believe how well they worked! We also looked at different types of Scientists and discovered that we don’t have to be a man with grey curly hair to be a Scientist…
As part of our learning for British Science Week, Year 5 have enjoyed learning about electrical connections this afternoon. First we used our post it note planning to plan our investigation. We deciding to investigate which materials are electrical conductors and which are electrical insulators. We thought about which variables we could measure and which we needed to keep the same. The children then enjoyed testing the different materials to see if they let electricity Read more

Reception have been learning about the festival of colour, Holi. To celebrate the festival, we have had a messy play afternoon today. We all went outside and chose different coloured powders to throw onto the floor and used chalk to create beautiful colours and patterns. We shouted “Holi Hai, Holi Hai” whilst doing this. Reception have loved celebrating the festival of colour.
This half term we are looking at 3D Art and sculpture as part of our Art topic. In this lesson we used cardboard to construct a sculpture and thought carefully about what 2D and 3D shapes would fit together no how to ensure they could stand up. We used out problem solving skills and growth mindset to create the sculptures with our partners.
