Class 3 love completing our weekly challenges when learning independently.
Class 14 have been investigating why the leaves change colour in autumn. We learned about the role of chlorophyll and other colour pigments. We then went on a leaf hunt and made artwork with different coloured leaves.
Recently, Class 14 have have been using counters to understand factors, prime numbers and square numbers in our Maths lessons. Team work is key in Year 6!
Class 4 have been learning how to use the number line in our Power Maths lessons this week. The children are working well with this tool to solve addition problems. That have learnt how to count in to add two parts together and today they learnt how to solve missing number problems.
Neve explained to me “you’ve got to start on the first part count on to the total and then count the jumps. That will tell you the missing number!”
A perfect explanation 
Class 4 have been learning about the UK. The children are able to name the four countries, identify their flags and talk about physical and human features or landmarks.
Year 1 are lucky enough to have a tennis coach coming in to school for the next four weeks to teach them some new skills.
The children tried really hard to perfect their throw position and the slingshot hit.
We may have some budding future Wimbledon stars!
Year 2 definitely enjoyed today’s rugby session. We are really starting to get the hang of the game and both teams scored plenty of tries!
It has been so nice to get outside and enjoy team sports together. Class 6 definitely put the effort in this afternoon.
As part of Year 3’s National Curriculum Essentials Science topic, May the Force be With You, they have been learning about magnets.
Today they were tasked with finding the magnetic items in our classroom by using a magnet and placing it over a selection of objects, just like in a scrapyard. If the items were magnetic they would be attracted to the magnet.
They had to sort the items into magnetic and non-magnetic. They discovered that all of the magnetic items were made from metal, however not all metals are magnetic as the pencil sharpener blade was magnetic, but the rest of the object wasn’t!
Year 2 have been practicing their throwing and catching in PE with Tony our Multi-skills coach. They were challenging to make it harder by changing distances and adding a clap before the catch.
After eating their lunch, the Reception children are enjoying playing ring games together with the Midday Supervisors and the teaching assistants.
Some of their favourite games to play are Bobby Bingo, Farmers in the Den and dancing.
You can see how much they are enjoying themselves in these lovely photographs.
