Class of 2020

Today, we have been using the Easi-scopes to look closely at different solids such as sugar, salt, sawdust and coffee. The solids were magnified and we could easily see the different particles clearly. We had to try and guess what each of them were.

Today, we started our topic on ‘Solids, Liquids and Gases’. To begin with, we looked at lots of pictures and sorted them into groups. Then we were given a variety of solids and liquids and we investigated the properties of each, thinking of different words to describe them.

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 had fun getting into time order. Some of us had am times and others pm. We found it wasn’t as easy as we first thought. 

In science, Mrs Dowson has been teaching us all about plants and their lifecycles and in geography we are learning all about plants of the rainforest and how they survive.  Today we drew and painted some hibiscus flowers using watercolour pencils.  We really enjoyed mixing colours and seeing how…

This term we are learning all about tropical rainforests and in our art lessons have been practising making shades and tints of colours. We have been mixing lots of different greens. We will be using these in a rainforest collage later this term.

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