This half term we are learning about keeping healthy. In Science we are learning about the different functions of the body and in Design & Technology we are learning about the healthy food plate. For our first lesson in D&T we have been looking at the different food groups: carbohydrates, Read more…
Following on in our design and technology unit, this week Year 5 Juniper designed and created their own doodlers! They were able to create their design in their books and decide what components they needed to use, where to place them, and what pattern they would like to put on Read more…
In our DT lesson this week, Juniper met the doodlers for the first time! The doodlers are an electrical system involving a paper cup, felt tip pens, batteries, a motor crocodile wires, tape and a hot glue gun stick. The children were able to see the doodlers in action, before Read more…
Year 2 took part in a Coding workshop focused on healthy eating. The children met a robot called Al who needed algorithms to help pack a healthy lunchbox. They also explored how to debug when mistakes occurred. The class asked thoughtful questions about Coding, such as why humans don’t just Read more…
This half term in Year 4, our DT topic is Structures: Pavilions. In our first lesson we have been exploring different frame structures to test which are the most stable, using toothpicks and sweets. We made basic geometric structures and then created larger structures considering strength and stability. We also Read more…
This afternoon, Year 5 Juniper have started their new Design and Technology unit – Electrical Systems: Doodlers. For today’s lesson, the children looked at the different components that create a simple circuit. They were able to identify crocodile wires, batteries, bulbs and motors. They were able to create their own Read more…
This week we are reading ‘Little Red Riding Hood’. Today we became bakers and baked non-dairy cupcakes to put in little red riding hood’s picnic basket. We all helped to weigh out and mix ingredients and then decorate our cakes. We then enjoyed eating them! Yummy!

This half term Year 5 will be investigating electrical systems and creating their own ‘doodlers’. During today’s lesson we focused on being able to identify simple circuit components and setting up our own series circuits. The children used bulbs and motors in their series circuits and looked at examples of Read more…
We had a great afternoon today taking part in a live lesson all about space. We met a real life inventor who had the opportunity to meet Tim Peake. We learnt all about life as an astronaut and what they do up in space. We went onto the international space Read more…
