Year 2 QR Treasure Hunt

To finish off our Computing unit about the use of IT all around us and in the wider world, today we took part in a special QR Code Treasure Hunt! We used our iPads to scan QR codes hidden all around the playground, which opened up secret video questions that we had to answer!

Class 2W Explore Fairness And Equality

Following on from the interest they showed in the life of Mary Seacole, Class 2W children have been exploring their feelings and opinions on fairness and equality.  This week they listened to various fair and unfair statements which they then had to decide to stand in the agree, disagree or not sure zone.  Their justifications and reasoning was fascinating and it all helped with building their foundations as good future citizens.

Class 3Y Sunglasses

Class 3Y has been learning about light in their science lessons. They know the sun is bad for their eyes and that they need protection. In class they carried out experiments to decide which material was most suitable for sunglasses. They then designed and made their own pair and tried them out on their way home on Wednesday.

Class 3Y Happy Half Term

We have been delighted with how well Year 3 have settled into life in Upper School. They have enjoyed their English and Maths lessons and worked really hard on their organisational skills. They are all becoming increasingly independent.

The overwhelming success however has been the enthusiasm with which the children have approached reading. It was wonderful to hear during Parents' Consultations how much the children are enjoying reading at home too. We hope that they all have a well-deserved rest over half term and I'm sure there will plenty of reading taking place too.

Class 5F Amazing Egyptian Projects

Class 5F have created amazing projects for their history homework this half term. From death masks to hieroglyphics, sarcophagus to pyramids and make up to mummification; the standard of work produced has been fantastic.

It's always interesting to see how the children interpret the task and the real beauty of these self-directed projects is that it allows the children to follow their own interests within a topic. I'm sure you'll agree, the final pieces are fantastic.

Co-Curricular Craft Club

In Craft Club this week we have been we having been creating another STEM craft. We used lollipop sticks, elastic bands and spoons to create our own catapults. Then of course we had to try them out and experiment!

  • Can we make the same missile fly further or higher? 
  • What happens if we use different missiles?
