In reading this week they were developing their own individual vocabulary knowledge. Focussing on a chapter from our class text and pulling out words unfamiliar to them. Then, using a dictionary, finding and defining the words they chose.
To show their understanding had improved, they then had to use these words in their own independent sentences.
Great work! It was lovely to see how you dictionary skills and speed has also improved this year too!
What a great afternoon we had for our KS2 Sports Day! We are so proud of all the children for getting involved!
Thanks so much to Marnie and her mum for providing class 8 with an ice pop each today. We all appreciated it so much and it was lovely to sit in the sunshine and enjoy the cool treat!
Today we enjoyed Eleanor Holt coming into our classes to play her violin for us. She is classically trained and it was wonderful to listen to. The children were very excited about it and love playing and listening to music. They did a little quiz to see if they could work out what she was playing…I personally loved the Disney film songs! We will be seeing a lot more of her next year in school and can’t wait to get started with our music lessons!
If your child is currently in year 2, year 3, year 4 or year 5 and you would like to sign your child up to have music lessons, then please send your child’s name to [email protected] and we will be in touch with the payment details for you.
Thanks x x
Class 7 loved continuing with their Tingatinga artwork and added the final touches to their artwork!
Today, I was so unbelievably proud of all the children in class 12 during our expedition today. The discussions and learning connections they made were beautiful to see and hear.
They were testing how sound is made, during the experiment we also found out that sound travels through solids better than air (gas) and that this is due to the amount of particles. They learnt that sounds are made by vibrations and that these vibrations travel in waves through particles into our ear. Then, our brain helps register the sound being heard.
So proud of every single one of you! And thank you for all your efforts and tests you carried out in this lesson your creativity and curiosity was so lovely to see.
My wonderful class have pieced together the process of fossil creation. Once they were able to decide on the correct order they then made their own storyboards to share their knowledge.
Fantastic job and some beautiful story boards! Well done.
On Friday, some of the cast of Wizard of Oz attended the Grand opening of Starbucks. The children enjoyed performing some of our songs from our production. The children showed so much courage whilst performing and even when the technology started playing up, they sang their hearts out and sounded absolutely beautiful! I couldn’t have been more proud! The children were lucky to then receive a free drink of their choice and a snack! What a lovely experience for our children!
