Class of 2020

Today, Year 4 completed their first orienteering lesson. The children learnt how to hold the map correctly in line with the course and how to follow a short path between markers. Each marker had a score and these needed to be added together to get a total. The winning team who were both accurate…

We had a great day dressing up as rock stars when Rock Kidz came into school and loved the singing and dancing. We revisited the very important message of being kind to everyone.

Well done Year 3 for your first KS2 Sports!  There was loads of resilience, perseverance and of course endurance on show! 

We have been working all this half-term on the different parts of our rainforest collages and finally we have put them all together!  We are really proud of our final pictures and hope you like them too!

We have a great time trying wheelchair basketball today.  It was pretty tricky but lots of fun!

What an amazing day we have had at Williamson Park. First we visited the Butterfly House where we learnt all about different animals that thrive in a rainforest environment. It was very warm and humid! We were able to meet a tortoise, a turtle and a cockroach. As you can see from our faces we had…

We used Audacity to record our voices and edit them. This is part of our podcasting unit. 

Today we started our new geography topic - Wonders of the Rainforest!  We listened to the sound of a tropical rainforest and drew what we could hear or imagine. We then wrote down our ideas about rainforests and what we already know.  We are looking forward to learning lots…

We continued our exploration of nature today by doing a texture touching challenge of natural things in the school grounds. We used words like rough, silky, jagged, downy and serrated to describe the things we felt. We will use some of these words in our nature poems.
