This half term we have created our own windmills during our DT lessons. We have thought about stable structures and how the sails would move in and out of class. We had to practice careful cutting and designing and also testing our windmills to make sure they were fit for purpose .
We have been so lucky to enjoy another half term of forest school with Miss Brown this half term. We have worked on lots of our skills during the sessions which also link to our skills Builder skill each half term..
This half term, Year 2 have explored a range of measurement topics. They have been ordering and measuring objects, investigating capacity, and learning how to read and use thermometers to measure temperature accurately in practical, hands-on activities.
Year 3 were practicing their cutting and peeling skills this morning, using carrots. Perfect timing..Santa must have knew because he came to visit and is taking the carrots away with him for his reindeers!
Year 6 have been looking at creating depth through one point perspective. We created a railway station scene, where the tree lines, station building, tracks and platforms appear to disappear into the distance using a vanishing point.
Today, Year 5 had our Christmas party. The children had a great time in the hall playing games, dancing and eating lots of treats. We had a Christmas quiz in class and started watching a Christmas movie. Well done Year 5 for excellent behaviour and a brilliant morning.

In our science topic this half term, Year 5 have been looking at the properties of materials. In our final lesson of the topic today, we carried out an experiment to see if we could create an irreversible change and create a new material. We filled plastic bottles with different amounts of vinegar, before securing a balloon to the top of the bottle which contained bicarbonate of soda. As the bicarbonate of soda mixed in Read more
Pine have been investigating irreversible changes this morning. We planned an experiment to answer the question: Does the amount of vinegar affect the amount of new material (gas) created? We put different amounts of vinegar into 5 separate bottles. We filled 5 balloons with the same amount of bicarbonate of soda. We then attached the balloons to the bottles, mixing the vinegar and bicarbonate together. This caused an irreversible change and created gas within the Read more
This morning we had a special Christmas treat in Forest School, we made smores! We started a fire safely with the help of Miss Dewhurst. We then talked about being careful around the fire and took it in turns to cook our marshmallow over the fire. We sandwiched it between two chocolate biscuits and then enjoyed our treat, Yum!
