In class 9 this week we have introduced a new class book called ’The Queens Hat ’ Linked to our expedition. The children then worked hard to re-write their own stories based on the new book but changed the title to ’The kings Crown’
I can’t wait to see the final write ups, you all made a great start on your stories, really proud of you all! 😊
All of the staff and children were blown away by this fabulous piece of work that our Charlotte has spent many hours creating at home after being inspired by our latest expedition, North, South, East, West. Where could your journey take you? In our second case study we have been learning about the inspirational life of Mae Jemison, the first black woman to travel into space.
Charlotte created her ‘sew-lar’ system using felt, buttons and sequins whilst also learning lots of different embroidery stitches. The attention to detail is astonishing…it even has accurate constellations and Jupiter’s famous red spot, a storm that scientists believe has been raging on the planet for at least 300 years! (She also included Pluto, as she has learned that it is no longer classed as part of our solar system due to it being too small and she felt sorry for it!)
Why not ask your children to tell you some of the facts they have learned? They really do love sharing their learning with you.
Carry on aiming for the stars you fabulous little humans and who knows…one day you might go there for real 🌟
I am delighted to share key dates with you as we go into the final half term for our current Y6 children. More details will be communicated for our leavers trip and party shortly. As always, please contact me at [email protected] or speak to your child’s crew leader with any questions you may have. In the meantime, thank you for your continued support as we try and make their end of primary schooling as memorable as possible.
I have been blown away with the efforts that Class 12 have put into their writing touchdowns. We have written newspaper reports about Mount Vesuvius erupting and destroying the city of Pompeii. Everyone ensured that they included the features we have been looking at such as fronted adverbials and inverted commas for direct speech. Well done!
In geography today, we looked the different tectonic plates that make up the earth. We worked collaboratively to piece the tectonic plates back together and we also learned that they are the reason we have mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes!
This week in expedition we have been learning about sinking and floating. The children have loved playing with different water toys and looking at boats. Today we carried out a science experiment to see which objects would float and sink.
The children have had so much fun being scientists in Nursery.
In our phonics sessions we learn ‘Red’ words. These are the words that the children cannot decode. They can use different clues to help them, but there are elements that make them tricky.
If you would like to practise these at home this would really help your children with their reading.
Below is a list of all the red words that we have learned so far.
