Class 13 – Tectonic Plates 🌎

In our expedition lessons, we have been looking at how the Earth’s crust is made up of these things called tectonic plates. We have been looking at where the different plates are and how they can cause natural disasters such as earthquakes.

New class book

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! 😊

Quite literally ‘out of this world’ home learning from Charlotte in class 7

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 🌟
