Today we completed an investigation to find the best rocks for different scenarios. We had to test the different properties of the rocks to find the most suitable rock for a worktop, a statue, a skate park ramp and a roof! This involved sanding, water and using vinegar on the rocks!
This week is National Skipping week and as a school we will be taking part to see how many jumps we can do. Each day, the children will get the opportunity to take part and count how many jumps they can do and we will create a school total each day. Watch this video to find out more.
School council will be getting involved to see who can skip or jump in the most unusual places. All you need to do to get involved is take a picture or video of you jumping or skipping somewhere unusual and send it into school. The deadline for entries is Tuesday 2nd May. Winners will be announced on Friday 5th May.
Happy skipping!
I was so impressed with the beautiful artwork that the children are creating in GBlock with Mrs Green! They were recreating ‘The Great Wave of Kanagawa’ using watercolour in different shades and the effect was beautiful!
Class 12 used atlases today to locate different mountains within different continents. I was SO proud of how hard everyone worked and the resilience shown when completing the activity! I was also really impressed with the children’s prior knowledge on the difference between countries and continents! Well done!
We had a team building session this morning in crew where the children had to work together to make sure everyone was stood on the carpet tiles without touching the floor! They communicated really well and came up with lots of creative ways to support each other!
Kizzi has created a fantastic volcano at home based on our expedition this term which is all about natural disasters! Well done Kizzi, it looks great in our classroom!
We’ve had another lovely day in Class 12 today! We’ve looked at the different layers of soil (did you know there are 5?) as well as enjoyed looking at some of our new expedition books. Everyone loved looking at the books and have already learnt some great new facts that they enjoyed sharing!
Mr Ambler and myself are creating a PE display for school. In this display, we want to celebrate our sporting successes across school whether it is a tournament, PE clubs or outside teams.
Please pass them onto your teacher and we will add these as part of our celebration 😀
Thanks,
Mr Gerrard and Mr Ambler 😆
Today we worked hard to create some lovely collage work to represent the different layers of the earth. They look fantastic now they are finished and I can’t wait to hang these in the classroom – they look so colourful!
We’ve had a great first swimming lesson! I’m so proud of all the children for showing confidence and bravery! Well done everyone!
