During this half term, Year 4 have been working hard to create their 3D pavilions. They have created their reinforced structures and then create their own cladding to improve the design. The children worked very well to collaboratively create their pavilions.
We researched different chicken fajita recipes to decide which would be easiest to recreate. From this we used Purple Mash to create our own recipe cards.
This half term we will be creating our own ‘Doodlers’ using electrical circuits. In todays lesson we have investigated the ‘Doodlers’ and by taking them apart and trying different ways of reconstructing them. We investigated different equipment and evaluated which items worked best and why. Next, the children will design Read more
In year 1 this half term we have been learning about structures and exploring how they can be made stronger and more stable. We have been using tools, equipment and different materials to construct a windmill structure. Children have been developing skills such as cutting, shaping, joining and finishing during Read more
In Science last half-term, Year 1 learnt all about materials and their properties. This half-term we are using this knowledge for our new topic ‘Building things’. To link with our careers learning, today we had a special visit from Mr Singleton. Mr Singleton is our school site manager and he Read more
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!
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 Read more
This half term Year 5 are going to be creating ‘doodlers’ using a motorised circuit. We have identified the different components and investigated how to create a simple series circuit. The children had lots of fun when they were able to power their fans.
This half term in Year 4 our DT topic is Structure. 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.
