Yamaha Music School visited Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 today for an assembly. Below is a letter offering a free lesson provided by them. Forms need to be returned by Monday 12th January.
Yesterday, year 5 became biologists as they spent the day investigating plants and lifecycles. They learnt about the different parts of a flower and the role of each part in its reproduction cycle. Also, they learnt about the lifecycle of a bird, amphibian or insect and compared it to their existing knowledge, the lifecycle of a mammal. Well done for taking such big steps on your learning journey!
After a morning of reading, maths and writing, year 6 were given an hour to carry on with their ignite ‘Lake Town’ building which they started yesterday.
The buildings, which they are making from wood, straws, paper and card , are being constructed at this moment. The children are deep in conversation about how to join their materials together and how to make their structure stronger so that they can continue to assemble the buildings as they had designed in their specifications.
Look at how they are coming along…
We had lots of fun bringing the story alive by going on a real bear hunt today! We were really excited when we found our class bears hiding inside the cave.
Welcome back 6b! I have really enjoyed hearing all about your Christmas and Christmas presents in our circle this morning!
Today we have been igniting our new project called ‘Different Worlds’.
Before Christmas we watched part of the first Hobbit film. In the second film, a new setting is introduced called Lake Town. For our ignite today, we have been designing and making Lake Town our own miniature, class Lake Town!
This morning, 6C have been busy designing and building their very own lake town, based on the book ‘The Hobbit’ by Tolkien.
To start off with, the children read the setting description of lake town from the novel. Following this, we watched the trailer of the Desolation of Smaug and a short video about how Lake Town was designed.
Using these ideas, we sketched and designed our own Lake Town house. We had to carefully select our materials and make sure that the measurements would be accurate, to ensure that the house would be stable.
After designing our house, we started to create our houses. We stopped for feedback throughout the design making process to adapt and improve our design.
Please find attached the School Meal Menu and Order form for January – February 2015.
Please make sure we have your order from on Wednesday for the following weeks lunches.
This week year three have been designing and printing their own t-shirts to wear as part of their campaign to save the rainforests of the world. Aren’t they fab?
We have been learning all about Christmas Trees in Foundation over the last week.
It was exciting to have the trees that we chopped down at Rushmere Country Park delivered to school. We designed our own decorations and had a grand switch on of the Christmas lights.
“5…4…3…2…1…switch on!”
We have also been celebrating Christmas with our own Christmas dinner! It was so fun!
