Yesterday we visited Grange Library. We got excited about books and couldn’t believe the range of books they had – some were new ones we had never seen before! Lots of children left with piles of books to take home and read.
We did computing unplugged today where the children learnt about networking through the orange game! They had to communicate and problem solve so that everybody had the correct oranges but there were rules how they could be passed around the circle. At the end, we did a large game with all 15 children and, although it was tricky, we were elated when we completed the challenge!
KS1 have been doing lots of work this term on everyday materials that we find around the home and in school. We have also been out to look for different materials outside. We have discovered wood, stone, concrete, rubber, metal, plastic and tarmac.
Today we explored Mae-ling and the dragon through forum theatre!
Key Stage 2 became legionaries today and practised their marching skills. The centurion directed “Dex, sin” (right, left). Bringing history to life!
We have been ordering and learning about events in Roman history. Here are some of our freeze frames!
Yesterday, year 5 and 6 recapped organs in the human body by drawing them onto one person in each group to create an x-ray. It’s great fun learning about what’s inside us!
For our new History topic, it is important for us to learn and understand some new vocabulary, so we went on a vocabulary hunt! The children found the definition, recorded it in their books and then re-hid the card in a different place for someone else to find. Lots of fun and excitement around learning new words!
One of our fun activities this week was Maths Art. The children made a design with coloured squares then they had to count the squares and work out some mathematical equations.
Today, the children wrote a play-script from our class book, Warhorse, then they acted it out!!
