Year 4 weaving part 2…
Today we progressed our skills from the paper weaving we did last week and used a small, handheld loom. It was really difficult but we showed lots of resilience-we cannot wait to show you our finished pieces!
Year 2 Gymnastics
Year 2 have been using different parts of their bodies to make different shapes and link them together to make a sequence. Then we used some different, more challenging apparatus to make a sequence too!
Year 3 – Chinese New Year
Year 3 have been learning all about Chinese New Year. We looked at what Chinese New Year is and how it is celebrated across the world. We discussed what continent China was on and the different human and physical geographical features.
We also looked at snakes because this year is the year of the snake! The children sorted truth and myth cards all about snakes. Some of the facts really surprised us.
We also decorated dragon masks because dragons are a huge part of Chinese culture and Chinese people dress as dragons and dance on Chinese New Year.
Learning how to say our numbers 1-10 in Mandarin was so much fun and the children picked this up very quickly.
Year 3 – Science
Year 3 are learning all about plants in science this half term and we are having so much fun! We have set up a variety of experiments and investigations to find out more. One of the investigations we have set up is looking at how important soil is to plant growth. Can plants grow if they don’t have any soil? Some of us predicted that our seeds wouldn’t grow if they didn’t have soil but as you can see they are all growing.
Year 4 weaving…
Year 4 are working on textiles in art this half term. We looked at weaving today and we were enthralled by the looms and fabrics we saw! We made our own paper weaving boards. We cut our warps in a sheet of A3 and used different coloured wefts to create some beautiful designs-we loved it!
Year 2 Bridge Design Day
Year 2 worked very hard to listen in assembly to the different types of bridge that would be the strongest. We thought carefully about what we wanted our bridges to look like and what they could carry; focusing on making the structure really strong! We worked successfully in groups to make sure each team member had a say on a different part of the
Year 4 String Telephones in Science…
As part of our sound topic we made string telephones today. We thought about the voice box vibrating, then the air in the cup, the string and then the air in the other cup before it got to our partner’s ear. We had great fun investigating different lengths and thicknesses of string too!
Year 4 Anglo Saxon Trip to The Winter Gardens
Today we went to the museum to learn all about the Anglo Saxons. We looked at artefacts, tried on clothing, explored the museum and even got to experience the different smells from the period! We had a great time and learned so much. We even had a look at a piece of stained glass from the era that was over 1 thousand years old!
Year 1 VolkerStein Bridge Design Competition
Year 1 were so excited by the challenge set from the team at VolkerStein, to build a bridge. We worked well in our teams, listening to others and their ideas and came up with some fabulous designs. We continued as a team to turn our designs into bridges. We used a range of different resources from around our classrooms to create our bridges. We
Year 4 Bridge Design with Volker Stevin…
We had a great day today designing a new bridge! We created mood boards with ideas and looked at the main types of bridge-the suspension bridge was our favourite! We had great fun-what do you think of our designs?
