In P.E. this half term we have been developing our gymnastics skills.  We have learnt how to jump, roll, travel and balance.  We also practised putting these actions together to create a sequence.  In these pictures, you can see us applying our skills on the large apparatus.  It was trickier than…

In maths we have been learning all about 2D and 3 D shapes.  It is really tricky to know how many vertices a 3D shape has so Mrs Cross challenged us to make some using mini marshmallows and cocktail sticks.  They were tricky to make too but we managed it in the end.  Counting marshmallows was…

In literacy today we used a technique called ‘hotseating’ to find out more about the characters in our story.  The person in the hotseat today was a wolf from the pack.  They had to think carefully about how they felt on their long, dangerous journey and explain their feelings when they realised…

After listening to the story of Noah’s Ark, the children wanted to make their own rainbow. They have gathered loose parts from all around Nursery to create it. We talked about the colours needed and what indigo and violet might look like.

We have been learning all about perimeter. Today, we were finding the perimeter of rectilinear shapes so we used a certain amount of matchsticks to make different shapes before working out the perimeter. 

Today we have made cheese scones in Year 5. The DT skills we were focusing on were mixing, rubbing in and grating. We compared the making process with our bread from last week and found the similarities and differences. 
 

Reception Class enjoyed time outside this afternoon. Working in teams, we went on a Woodland hunt. Trying hard to find all the natural things on our list. 

We had a lovely morning with our Nursery friends. We were celebrating Chinese New Year. We completed lots of Chinese New Year related activities.

We enjoyed listening to the Firemen from Lancaster about their job and how they help people. We asked some great questions e.g where do you get the water from ? We learnt lots of new facts. 

Thank you to Mrs Kornas who came to talk to us today about how she helps people in her job. We had just excellent questions to ask her!
