Year 2 orienteering fun!

Today, year 2 had their first orienteering lesson and I think it’s safe to say that they loved it.

They were using the maps, working together and did so much exercise running between the locations.

On top of this, key stage 1 have started their daily mile at playtimes this week. They are loving the exercise and being outside in this lovely Autumn weather.

Great job guys!

Class 8’s fantastic DT

Class 8 have really grappled this week to design and build a battering ram. They have chosen their own resources and tried to create a sturdy structure with a moving mechanism. I have been blown away with how they have worked together with their partners and with how much resilience they have shown when things were hard.

Well done class 8, I am really proud!

Class 8: Hinduism

Class 8 have learnt a lot about Hinduism today. They read the story Rama and Sita and then looked at rangoli patterns. Most Hindu households have rangoli patterns at the entrance to their home as they are thought to bring good luck and prosperity to their families. Some children used paints, others used pegs and boards, whilst others coloured in rangoli patterns. Well done class 8 for some great listening and learning today. I will be checking on Monday that you have remembered anything about the religion Hinduism?

have a lovely weekend x

Class 8 Catapults

In expedition today, class 8 have been working with a partner to test out their catapults, seeing how far the ball would go and then measuring and recording their results. They had so much fun!!
