In our R.E. lesson this week, Year 5 Juniper have been learning about forgiveness. We looked at some of Jesus’ parables (Jesus and the Sinful Woman and The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant) to see how Jesus showed forgiveness towards people and the lessons Jesus wished to teach to people. Jesus taught us that we all need forgiveness, but those of us who need it most may be the most grateful. We then worked through Read more
This week we have been reading the stories of ‘what the ladybird heard’ by Julia Donaldson. We are all getting very good at remembering the job of the author and illustrators of stories. This week, we have made ‘messy maps’ thinking about features we might see that we could add to our maps, we did maps of farmyards like in the story, adding animals, ponds, gates, barns etc. We did some ladybird maths activities and Read more
This afternoon Pine have been introduced to two new ‘skills builders’. We have discussed in detail the qualities needed to be a good problem solver and what makes someone creative. We’ve investigated different jobs that require these two skills and discussed how we are problem solvers and creative within school and at home. We spent some time drawing our own characters to represent jobs that require these skills.
Today we been working on our cooking skills by looking at cutting and chopping vegetables here are some pictures of our progress
We did really well chopping and peeling the vegetables using the equipment. They learned some chopping techniques and how to hold the food still so they didn’t cut their fingers. The claw grip and bridge grip were used to help with this. Well done Year 3!
In our science lessons, we have been learning about different materials and their properties. We can identify the materials that objects are made out of and what properties that material has. Children have really enjoyed investigating different materials to see if they are waterproof or not waterproof. We are looking forward to investigating light and heavy materials to find the best materials for building things.
This half term, year 4 are focusing on their basketball skills and health related fitness during PE lessons. Children have been working hard to develop their dribbling skills and ball control before entering into team games. The children are throughly enjoying their lessons as they can see their own improvements within the sport. Children are continuing their learning during dinner times.
This morning, Hawthorn were visited by the school nurses to tell us all about healthy eating. During our session, the nurses spoke to us about having a health diet and how much sugar some of our food contains! Children were asked about their diets and to reflect on the foods they eat to see if they can make better choices.
This week in PE Pine have been working on improving their basketball skills. The lesson focused on dribbling, attacking, defending and shielding the ball. Have a look at how well we’ve done by scrolling through our photographs.
Our school nurse came into school to talk to us about healthy eating. She was really impressed with our knowledge so far that we have been learning in Science and Design & Technology. We looked at how much sugar is in different drinks then we had to guess how many teaspoons of fat different foods had.
