During Art, we have been looking at finding meanings within a painting. Children have been looking at vocabulary such as tone, line, colour, pattern and shape. Children used descriptive language to tell the story in various paintings they observed. Then, children painted a picture that related to a story or theme such as respect. Well done to all children who managed to relate their paintings to our Christian value – respect.
Year 6 have been working extremely well throughout our RE topic, ‘what do religions say to us when life gets hard?’ Within this we have been looking at life after death and Heaven. In our lesson today, we have explored Heaven and what it looks like. We have to decide how to rate good and bad deeds out of 10 and use our scales to decipher wether some good deeds out weigh the bad Read more
Today year 3 had a fantastic treat. We were able to watch a production all about climate change. here are some pictures of the performance
This week we have read the story Owl babies. The children used different materials to create their own owl picture in the creative area during their time in continuous provision. We spoke about how an owl would feel and chose words to describe it. The children chose soft feathers to stick on their pictures. We also discussed where owls live and what they like to eat.
Year 5 have been finding out all about ‘European Languages Day’ this afternoon. This day has been celebrated since 2001, to help people understand how useful it can be to speak more than one language. In Europe, there are 24 different spoken languages. Year 5 have had a go at saying hello and goodbye in just 4 of them!
For Coding week we have been using Purple Mash to create a program using a given design. We planned an algorithm that included collision detection. We used ‘The Princess and the frog’ to create a set of algorithms. We needed to move the princess to the right then when the Princess got to the frog she would stop and then turn the frog into a prince. We used the collision detection button so that when Read more
Today we looked at coding and what coding means! We loved trying to make the fish move in the correct direction. Some of us drew the coding blocks, to indicate where the fish would move and what blocks to click.
Earlier this week, Year 1 had a lovely surprise! They got to join reception at a Science show. It was all about materials, just like our Science topic. The children got to test out materials and make predictions. At the end they watched a mini explosion and it made them jump but they loved it!
Year 1 Oaks read the bible story “Jesus’ Special Friends” and talked about what makes a good friend. We used fruit to represent our Christian values and what we value in a friendship. The blueberries represented kindness, strawberries represented love and so on. At the end we sprinkled ‘happiness’ onto our kebabs (in the form of sprinkles obviously) which the children loved and shared our kebabs with our friend. Well done Oaks. You are such Read more
This morning we have taken part in an amazing science show. We learnt lots of new things about materials and the different things they can do. A few of us came up to the front to help the scientist carry out his experiments. We all especially loved the exploding experiment in the end, it made us jump!
