The Golden Mile Grand Total

School council have been busy counting this afternoon to find the total of our Golden Mile. We have raised £77.90! Thank you to everyone who made a donation.

Awesome writing in class 7.

As part of our second case study in our expedition we are re-writing the story of Man in the Moon. The children are telling the story from the point of view of the aliens and used some amazing adjectives, fantastic conjunctions and wonderful punctuation to write the first part of the story this morning…and this was only the first draft! I cannot wait to see your final drafts after editing and improving tomorrow.

Great job!

What 3 words in Crew Rodgers?

In crew this morning we played a game of what 3 words?. This is an opportunity for the children to think about 3 words that describe who they are. A difficult enough concept for an adult let alone a crew of 20 five and six year olds. The children did amazingly well though, and came up with some really insightful adjectives to describe their personalities. I was pleased to see that nearly all the children described themselves as happy, with kind coming a close second. Other words were beautiful, friendly, hardworking and helpful.

I couldn’t agree more guys…and one more word I would like to add to describe you all…AWESOME!

Class 7 re-hook

To re hook the children back into our expedition we looked at satellite images of the effects of climate change on the polar ice regions. We discussed global warming and the children made some excellent suggestions of the small changes they could make that would help to cut down the emissions that are causing the ice to melt and sea levels to rise.

Take a look at these fantastic posters the children produced to raise awareness of climate change.

Fantastic job guys!

Astronaut snacks in class 7

We were lucky enough today to snack like astronauts as part of our latest case study slice. During half term our Martha visited Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh and kindly brought us back some freeze dried ice-cream to try…just like the real astronauts eat while flying missions in space. We were able to choose between chocolate or strawberry and as you can see MOST of us thought it was delicious!

Thank you Martha!

Awesome geography in class 7

We spent a very exciting expedition lesson this morning by using Google Earth to investigate human and physical features. We zoomed in from a satellite to our school and compared it to a coastal location. the children were all able to identify the features and most of us could also define them by saying whether they were human or physical.

Great job guys!
