Class 9 doing great ball skills

12th January 2023Aime Shaw

We started a new unit of work in Pe today, where we are going to be practising batting a ball and catching it. We began by playing a warm up game and then explored our catching skills with a partner and then in a small group. I was really impressed…can’t wait to see what the batting skills are like next week.

please remember we do PE every Thursday so the children will need a suitable PE kit!

Thanks

Class 7 superstars

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!
