class 9 XP Outdoors
Class 9 had lots of fun today doing XP Outdoors today with Mr Kershaw. He created a fantastic lesson where the children got to experiment with musical sounds using items from our outdoor area. I was really impressed with the beats they were making and the different sounds they were creating together.
Great work class 9!

shared reading in year 2
In our year 2 guided reading group, we have been using our inference and retrieval skills to answer questions about a text we have been reading this week. There has been some super skimming and scanning work happening as well as predictions about what will happen in the text.
Well done guys! Your reading is improving all of the time!

Geography Club!
We are loving Geography club. This is our 3rd week. So far the children have told me in some discussion activities what they think Geography is about, then the children did some research and had to make a poster answering the question ‘What is Geography?’.
Today, we looked at the Earth and discussed what we think it’s like on the inside, some thought it was all liquid, some thought it might be spongy. We found out that it is actually made in layers and these layers are all made of different things! Here they are making a collage model of their learning this week. And they did a fabulous job! We can’t wait for next week!
Class 11 peer critique! 📝
Yesterday, Class 11 critiqued each others scientific reports. We worked collaboratively to ensure that our feedback was specific and accurate to push each others learning on. Here we are in action!
Keep an eye out when we’ll pick our favourite pieces of work and some of the most beautiful!
Year 5/6 Home Learning
Class 10: Conductors and insulators.
Testing items around the classroom to see if they were good conductors or insulators was great fun! The classroom had a brilliant buzz (pardon the pun). After making their hypothesis and predictions about the experiment, they cracked on with testing and gathering results. Ask them at home what a conductor or an insulator is and what materials they are. You could also ask them what we mean by a complete and incomplete circuit, I bet they will be excited to tell you, if they haven’t already!
Class 10: curious about circuits!
We have all loved creating and learning about series circuits – the children even managed it all in their own through pure curiosity! I then challenged them further by giving them a switch and an extra wire to see what they came up with.
From there, I then gave the children the task of writing a specific set if instructions on how to build their circuit. This would then be used to support their writing of a scientific report later on. They absolutely smashed this and produced some fabulous writing! We are so proud.
