Class 10 had the joy of Carolyne from Sugar Rush visiting us and teaching us more amazing facts about the Mayans. We loved it!
We loved even more having the chance to try delicious chocolate treats that were brought in. Thanks for the great afternoon!
What a great day Class 10 had decorating our reading corner and immersing ourselves into the World Book Day spirit. Well done Class 10 for helping make our reading corner look much improved!
Today, Class 10 have made predictions about how friction will affect how vehicles travel. We tested the car on different surfaces and found that, the smoother the surface, the further the car went. However, the rougher or bumpier the surface, the more friction there was and the car would travel less distance.
Well done Class 10 on working so well together! 🙂
What a great lesson from Class 10, today! We experimented with magnets and put on our scientific hats with the hope of finding out what materials were magnetic and which weren’t. We accurately predicted that the items made of metal (paper clips, coins and table legs) would attract the magnet, but items that were not made of metal (rulers, paper and rubbers) would not attract them.
However, some did try to trick me into thinking that plastic was magnetic!
Keep up the great scientific work, Class 10! 🙂
Class 10 have walked for miles and seemed tried after a bus journey, but loved their day at YWP seeing so many incredible animals. We were very excited to get in and start exploring!
We then went to see the lions, but they didn’t like the early start, so off we went to see the polar bears and the warty pigs!
After that, we went to see some of the giant otters, including the baby have their breakfast, the monkeys and then walk with the wallabies!
We then finished off wandering the tigers, the leopard and the giraffes and then finally finished with a workshop on polar bears!
We even cam face to face with a terrifying polar bear!
A huge well done to Class 10 for how they behaved around YWP and a massive thank you for all of our parent volunteers – we really appreciate you coming! 🙂
What a great turn out for National Read Aloud Day. Thank you to everyone who came – the atmosphere was great!
Yesterday, Class 10 were practising their measuring skills and began to explore using rulers with different items around the class. This was to get used to the vocabulary and understand measurements fully.
We then finished our day off by finding the key features of a setting description ready to take some ideas for independent pieces of writing.
Here are some videos to support you with the methods we are teaching in school.
Crew Oldridge had a busy couple of weeks conducting experiments including evaporation, filtration and the Muddy Water Challenge to separate the components of muddy water using the knowledge they had acquired during the week. Clearly, these ‘Science Hook Days’ were enjoyed by all! WE ARE SCIENTISTS!
For the first couple of days back, Class 10 have been researching their knowledge of polar bears by working collaboratively on building up their knowledge of these incredible creatures.
Class 10 then got their craft on and started making their very own polar bear decorations. These looked really great and will immerse our classroom!
No children were harmed in this polar bear encounter!
On our second day of Hook Week, we have continued to be creative and make decorations that we can then use for our room. We’ve made some really lovely polar bear hand prints.
