Class 7 superstars

12th January 2023Jayne Rodgers

Take a look at these amazing young men who absolutely blew me away today with their can-do attitudes. Charlie has made fantastic progress in his phonics and spellings recently and used his learning of split digraphs to spell all his words correctly, Jackson earned a head teacher’s award sticker for his fantastic postcard writing in English and Reggie blew me away with his effort in maths.

So proud of you guys!

Class 11 circuit making! 🔋💡

11th January 2023Simon Gerrard

Today, Class 11 have been making their very own circuits, using electrical components that we have been learning about during Expedition. We absolutely loved making these, despite the challenge they offered. Some of us managed to get two bulbs working, whilst a few of us showed tremendous determination to get the switch working! See below for the fun we had:

Year 4: Instruction Writing

11th January 2023Rebecca Knowles

Today, Crew Knowles focused on writing instructions to build a working circuit with a bulb and a switch. We had to focus on ensuring our instructions were clear and specific. The children then paired up and followed each others’ instructions to see just how accurate they were!

Year 4: Investigating Circuits

11th January 2023Rebecca Knowles

We had great fun yesterday in Crew Knowles investigating circuits and seeing if we could make the bulb light up. There was lots of cheering when the bulbs did light! I was so proud of the prior knowledge and resilience when investigating how to create a circuit and they didn’t give up until it worked! We then went on to investigate what would happen if we added more bulbs or more batteries.

We’re looking forward to experimenting with buzzers and switches later on in our learning!

Class 10: X-ray art work!

10th January 2023Alishia Pearson

On Friday class 10 had a sneaky peek into their upcoming biology learning! We started by looking at some interesting facts about our hands and feet and the bones that make them up. They then set off on a tricky task of making some x-ray art using chalk, cotton buds and art straws! They all turned out brilliantly – well done all!

I wonder… ask your child about the names of some of the bones and see if they can remember them.

Class 7 Kixx

9th January 2023Jayne Rodgers

We had a fantastic first session of Kixx football skills this afternoon. Coach Kyle took us through our paces and we dazzled him with how good we already are at dribbling, shooting and controlling the ball.

We can’t wait for next week.

Please remember to send in outdoor PE kit for next Monday’s session.

Terrific Teeth!

8th January 2023Rebecca Knowles

Later on in our expedition we will be looking at teeth so during Hook Week, we created some nice fluffy ones that can be hung in our classroom to add to our environment!
